Fika for Life

One day while sitting at the Fika table Linh and Edward started talking about his upcoming 60th birthday. With their usual quirky sense of humor, wisdom and openness they explore the subject of getting older. They know that most of our listeners are far from 60 but they were having such fun talking about this that they decided to share this with you. Don't forget to let us know what you think?

Linh and Edward dive head first into this episode's topic about Covid vaccinations. It was back in episode 40  that they talked about God and Covid. Today they dive into the highly polarized topic of vaccinations as our duo of wisdom throws their 2 cents into the discussion. Linh even shares about how things are going with her family in Viet Nam. Let us know if you want to hear more about this topic?

In this culture where in the West we are so far removed from death and yet we all will die. With the same candidness when openly sharing about subjects that are not always easy and using their combined experience and wisdom Linh and Edward dive into how to talk to toddlers about death. Let us know if there are other aspects about this that you want to know more about.

To be friends is supposed to be easy and natural but sometimes things come up that you have not anticipated. To be a supportive friend in a trying circumstance can be very difficult when you disagree. Listen in to Ed and Linh sharing their stories about being a supportive friend in circumstances such as adultery, divorce and abortion.

In this episode Edward and Linh dive deeper into being a supportive friend. As usual they share their experience and "nuggets of wisdom" over a cup of tea, something yummy to eat and bit of humor as they dive into this relevant topic about friendship.

A lot of the podcasts that Edward and Linh record are inspired by our listeners. Today's episode is one of them. In their typical style, Linh and Edward, enjoy a Swedish fika as they dive into answering the question about being a supportive friend instead of a backstabber.

Both Linh and Ed grew up in several cultures during their lives. Listen to their story from a cultural lense and hear about their struggles, experiences and lessons they have learned. Maybe you already know that Ed and Linh belong to the Cross Culture church in Uppsala and in this podcast they explain what their church is about and how multiculturalism is shaping this fellowship. Special treat: Ed is demonstrating the difference between his experience of an African church and African-American church. Also, meet Linhs son Ettai and hear the studio audience cheer and take part in the conversation.
