We are very excited to have Karen Twinem as our special guest on this week’s episode. Suah met Karen through her church small group. Karen’s unique perspective on the topic of mental illness and her compassion and wisdom with respect to those who struggle with mental health led Suah to invite her on the podcast. Also, she is SO FUNNY! We hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

Well, the heated 2024 election has finally come to an end, and there are varying thoughts and feelings from both camps. In this week’s episode, Peter and Suah share their own responses and thoughts about the election results.

What is spiritual authority? Who has it, and why does it matter? In this week’s episode, Peter and Suah talk about their own ideas of what spiritual authority is and why we should all aspire to grow in this area.

A few episodes ago, Suah shared about the health scare she experienced during the summer. In this episode, we have a more in-depth conversation about what she learned about herself and about God through this experience.

With election season upon us, it seems that everybody everywhere is talking about politics. With another contentious election coming up, how can we engage with others without losing ourselves, especially when we disagree on what we consider fundamental issues? Tune in to get Peter and Suah’s takes.

How have we already made it to Season FOUR!? Welcome to the first episode of the new season, where we play catch-up and talk about what’s been going on in our lives over the past few months.

In a world overrun by bottom lines and big egos, what does a good, healthy transition of leadership power look like? To chat with us about this very topic, we’ve invited two very special guests on this week’s episode.

Angie Bae is founder and owner of her own events-planning company, Angi & Co. She was also Executive Director of Zimele for 8+ years and is now serving on their Board of Directors.

Janet Kwon is the current Executive Director of Zimele. Her academic background centers on international work in the non-profit sector, and she brings a wealth of knowledge to her new role.

Can one’s culture of origin or cultural context mix with his faith in Jesus? Does becoming a Christian mean we must denounce the traditions of our heritage? How do culture and faith intersect? PP and Suah tackle these questions in this week’s episode.

Have you ever experienced “burnout” from the unrelenting demands of work and life? Have you ever felt like you were forced to give more when you felt you had nothing left to give? In this week’s episode, PP and Suah share their own experiences with “burnout” and how they navigated their circumstances.
