Part two!

My guest today is my friend Pastor Kenji Nitta. Kenji’s been in ministry for over 25 years — pastoring and walking with people through all kinds of seasons. He’s got a bachelor’s in Social and Behavioral Studies from George Fox, a master’s in Theology and Leadership from Gonzaga, and a chill ass preaching style that makes him easily accessible to us non-churchy types. He loves prayer, people, and a good Bruce Lee quote.

Kenji hopped on the pod for a real conversation about faith, mental health, and the pressure to “just pray it away.” We talk healing, mixed identity, cultural silence, and how churches can better support people who are struggling. Kenji's particulars:
