In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Drew Hyun about growing up with Korean immigrant parents, the impact of his father’s ministry on his faith, and how his passion for the Bible became a hangup for him. Drew talks about how God orchestrated an internship opportunity where he experienced deep healing, how he got involved with working in Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, and some of the shifts that are happening in the organization relating to community and coaching resources. 

Drew Hyun is the pastor and founder of Hope Church NYC, a family of diverse churches. He is also the co-founder of the New City Network, a network of urban churches based in NYC that values spirit-filled ministry, emotional health, mission, and multiethnic ministry. In addition, Drew works in executive leadership with Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, an organization that aims to transform church culture through the multiplication of deeply changed pastors and leaders. He regularly speaks at conferences and college campuses throughout NYC, as well as national denominational and network gatherings. He is a graduate of UC Berkeley, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div), and Fuller Theological Seminary (DMin).

You can learn more about Drew’s story and reflections in his upcoming book, Beautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful: How Gratitude, Grief, and Grace Reflect the Christian Story at Amazon, Churchsource, or Barnes and Noble.
