"Neither Do I Condemn You": Amy Chang's Journey to Finding Mercy


Listen Later

In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor sits down with Amy Chang to talk about Amy shares her miraculous journey from a Buddhist upbringing in South Korea, through collegiate struggles in Oklahoma, to finding her true calling as a Catholic missionary.

Whether you're someone who is yearning for more in their career or spiritual life, or just curious about the ongoing movement of the Holy Spirit and radical conversion, this conversation will remind you that God is still at work in your story through all of life's circumstances to draw you closer to Him.

What You’ll Hear:

• Amy's upbringing in a Buddhist household in South Korea where the expectation was to be the best and never discuss emotions. This pressure led her to turn to drinking in high school, ultimately derailing her dream of becoming a professional golfer.

• The captivating peace and joy Amy observed in Catholic missionaries from Focus when she arrived in Oklahoma for college. Despite being baptized and confirmed after her freshman year, Amy struggled, hitting "the bottom of the barrel" in her junior year due to drinking and police involvement, desperately seeking a restart.

• How Amy reluctantly agreed to a 4.5-week mission trip to India after being asked seven times, and how that time of consistent prayer and Mass completely changed her life and led her to eventually leave corporate finance to serve as a Focus missionary for eight years.

• Why Amy relates her personal brokenness and self-hatred to the story of the woman caught in adultery in John Chapter 8, reflecting on the depth of Jesus's mercy and His choice to pursue and love her without condemnation.
