In this episode, I am joined by two sweet, spicy, spunky Asian women of faith: Sarah Park (Korean) and Ally Murari (Indian). These two girls have hearts on fire for Christ and the Person of Jesus is just so evident in the way they encounter the people around them. I (and the entire campus of UGA) am/is so blessed to have such grounded, bold, and talented lights for His kingdom. This episode focuses primarily on Sarah Park's story: she identifies as a "baby Christian", yet we all know this girl's voice permeates the walls of various ministries on campus. As one of the few/only POC, Korean worship leaders/Christians on campus, Sarah shares the challenges that arise as an Asian-American in a demographically non-Asian community. As AAPI women in the church, it's hard... we hope you will listen and don lenses of intersectionality to heed, understand, and act upon what we have to share <3 These two are an absolute testimony to Christ's redemptive power and such a joy to their communities! Blessings. As always, speak love and live it!
"The purpose of my covers is to do exactly what God spoke... YOU are the fruit of why I did that! This is what it's about. Ally and I went to the same high school together, but the fact that you applied to ALL these colleges and your story is intertwined with mine THROUGH Christ, and the way He used my gift to minister to you? That's what Church is. That's what community is about. This is it MAN. It's not us, it's HIM!" - Sarah Park.
