Erasing Shame

Bobby Deng sits down with DJ Chuang to talk about Asian American mental health, their advocacy efforts, lived experiences, their Christian faith, and much more.

This is probably the longest episode of the season and the first in-person conversation that wasn't recorded on zoom, for those of you keeping score at home. (let us know gently if we're wrong about this.)

Pastor John Shin, Connections Pastors at Saddleback Church, Irvine South campus, engages on a discussion about shame and Korean Americans. (He could write a much more witty description than DJ could here; when he does, we'll update this.)

The ever creative Brian S. Chan—Pastor, Professor, Author, Artist, Martial Artist—shares his keen insights about the power of beauty to win over depression, those dark feelings and negative thoughts that inconveniently keeps us stuck. We explore various aspects of beauty, truth, goodness, immersive visuals, the creative arts, kinesthetics, and much more.

Jenn Suen Chen (a spiritual director, international speaker, enneagram coach, and writer) joins DJ Chuang wraps up this conversation series about spiritual formation and what God is doing in us, with us, and through us. Plus, a mention about a new book that Jenn is authoring.

Jenn Suen Chen explains the second of four stages in her spiritual formation paradigm: undoing. By sharing our real life examples of going through the stages of shaping and undoing, these first 2 stages, we learn how it looks and feels when God is working in our lives during times like these.
