It's not easy to start all over and pursue a career in a competitive industry without many models of those who are similar to you. But after 9/11, Harry Yoon found himself contemplating his future and wanting to make life choices that would reflect his deepest passions and callings. At 31 years old, he walked away from a career in technology, sold everything, and headed to Hollywood in search of a vocational path in the film industry. Two decades later, Harry has experienced the dream of editing a movie that reflects the authenticity of the Korean immigrant experience which was a part of his own story as a second-generation Korean American: Minari, written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung and currently nominated for six Academy Awards. In this special bonus episode, producer Helen Lee talks with Harry about the risks he took to enter this industry, and how he was able to use his bicultural skills and experiences to survive and thrive. Helen and Harry also discuss the elements of Christian faith interwoven throughout the movie and why it carries a message that the church needs now more than ever.

The Enneagram is all the rage right now, as books old and new on this subject of understanding oneself and others are flying off the shelves. But how many of those previous Enneagram authors have been people of color? InterVarsity Press's new Enneagram Daily Reflections nine-devotional series features seven authors of color, three of whom are interviewed in this season's finale episode: Sean Palmer (Forty Days on Being a Three), Marlena Graves (Forty Days on Being a Nine), and Gideon Tsang (Forty Days on Being a Seven).

Some writers write because they want to stay popular or current with the latest trends; Adam Thomason writes from a prophetic burden and a message of hope and empathy for those who are struggling with their black identity. He has seen too many people who continue to carry pain and anguish from surviving as a black man or woman in our country, and he wants for them to experience freedom from these mental and physical burdens and stresses. And he has borne those burdens himself, from surviving as a black boy in the streets of Detroit to experiencing rejection due to the color of his skin. He tells all these stories and more, including performing several of his spoken-word poems, in this wide-ranging and compelling conversation. You'll also learn the unique backstory of how his striking cover was developed and created.

What do you do when you discover unsettling truths about one of the most revered figures in American history? How do you cope with a Christianity that is so intertwined with white supremacy that it cannot recognize its own complicity in the most egregious episodes in our nation's past? What does it feel to live on a Navajo reservation and endure the kind of marginalization that very few fellow Americans have ever had to experience?

In this fascinating conversation with one of the key leading Native voices in the church, Mark shares so many compelling and unique insights that we had to keep the mics rolling to capture it all. You'll also hear about his reflections on his campaign for the presidency of the United States, what he feels called to pursue next in his life, and why he never intended to write a book in the first place.

Liuan Huska was only in her twenties when she began experiencing pain, first in her ankle but then to her knee, her lower back, and throughout other areas in her body. It was the beginning of a years-long journey with a chronic illness that raised many questions for her about what it means to be human, and what faith looks like when daily pain is a part of one's discipleship journey. Writing became the means through which Liuan was able to discern answers and understand that her value in God's eyes came not from the things that she was able to do, but because her full being was made in God's image. Liuan also shares about the intersection between the struggles of the immigrant experience and the propensity Asian Americans have to deny or push past areas of pain, and how she came to learn healthier and new ways to respond. You will be touched by Liuan's thoughtful, vulnerable reflections in this honest and revealing conversation.
About the Guest:
Liuan Huska is a freelance writer and speaker focusing on topics of embodiment and spirituality. Her writing, on everything from chronic pain to evangelical fertility trends, has appeared in Christianity Today, The Christian Century, In Touch Magazine, Hyphen, Sojourners, and Church Health Reader.

Juanita Rasmus was the co-pastor of a flourishing ministry alongside her husband Rudy, doing good work for the kingdom of God in and around Houston. But then one day she came face to face with a depressive episode that began a season of nearly three years' worth of dark nights of the soul. As she realized that her experience with depression was not merely a hardship to overcome, but an invitation to a new way of living, she began writing as a way to process what she was learning to become. In this engaging and honest conversation, Juanita shares her desire to help lessen the stigma of mental health issues and unpacks the years-long journey she took to bring her words to life. She also shares how it is that Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, wrote the foreword to her book and why it is important to find publishers who value her voice.

If you had told Antipas Harris when he was a child that he would grow up to write a book, he would likely have doubted you. As a boy in the deep South who grew up in a poor family and struggled with learning disabilities, he could not have imagined the paths down which God would take him. Despite the personal and structural barriers he faced, he was ultimately faithful to the tasks put before him, resulting in his writing Is Christianity the White Man's Religion? The question came from a disenchanted millennial in his classroom, and the more Antipas engaged with students from this generation, the more he understood what was at the heart of the question, and the more he was motivated to tackle it in his book. A Billboard hit also makes a cameo in this episode, from Antipas's former life as part of a hit musical group.
About the Guest:
Antipas L. Harris is the president and dean of Jakes Divinity School and serves on the pastoral staff at The Potter's House in Dallas, Texas. He is an ordained minister, a theological educator, and a musician with degrees from LaGrange College, Candler School of Theology (Emory University), Yale Divinity School, Boston University, and St. Thomas University. Before being appointed to his current role by Bishop T. D. Jakes, Harris founded the Urban Renewal Center in Norfolk, Virginia, where he led initiatives that addressed the intersections of faith, justice, and community development. His objective is to help people overcome distress, reinforce faith, impart comfort through the arts, and provide stability through education.
