An "even if" kind of love

August 20, 2021

Heidi Kwon and Pastor Bryan sit down with Pastor Moses and his wife, Pastor Sung Chil Park, of Shalom Disability Ministries to hear their story and their heart for people with special abilities.

Their mission was forged out of the unimaginable. After a horrific accident killed their two young daughters and left Pastor Sung Chil Park a quadriplegic many years ago, Pastors Moses and Sung Chil have dedicated their lives to serving people with special abilities and sharing the gospel. But what is captivating about their story and their presence, is not just how their vibrant ministry began and continues to this day, but how their personal love for God and for one another endures every day.

In this episode of Morning Coffee with PB, we see the living proof that God makes beauty out of the broken and that the joy of the Lord is our strength. We ask the questions of "What can we do when the unimaginable happens?" "Can joy exist after inexplicable grief?"

Episode 15 | Cultivating Community

August 1, 2024 • Bryan H Kim, Heidi Dixon Kwon , Kevin Pak

Many of us struggle with finding community within the church. Why is it easy for some and hard for others? Are we supposed to find our friends within the Body? In this episode, we talk about: What is Community? What are the expectations and what is the posture that we come into the church? How do we begin to cultivate a community around us? At the end of the episode, we hear from one of our longtime members and Ekklesia leaders, Kevin Pak. He shares his experience and perspective on building a community. The article mentioned in this episode is written by Sophia Lee, "Confessions of a Loner".

Episode 14 | Let Your Life Speak

May 11, 2023 • Heidi Dixon Kwon, Bryan Kim

We are back for season two of MCWPB! This season, we are doing something a little different. For the first few episodes, we are doing a book club-style chat to discuss books everyone should read. In this episode, we dive into "Let Your Life Speak" by Parker Palmer (https://http://rb.gy/m0lg6) and process some of the book's main ideas. It's like being able to read the book, without reading the book (but we suggest you read the book). Musicbed SyncID: MB01ZG9JZFA6IQP

Episode 13 | On the Topic of Spiritual Abuse

September 12, 2022 • Heidi Dixon Kwon, Bryan Kim

What is the difference between being edited, being offended, and being abused? These seem like they'd be clear enough, but when something hurts our feelings, our egos… especially in the church setting, how can we tell the difference? Because let’s be real, sometimes being held accountable or being called out can feel terrible - especially when we’re not in a good place. The church is a place and a community that can hold many layers of experiences. Some people come to the table with memories of pain, and trauma, while others experience healing and restoration. We bring both before God and one another. And when you bring humans together who are broken and messy and trying to wrestle with faith and the gospel in one place, we are bound to bruise one another as we learn to love, give grace, forgiveness… all in the hopes of being formed into the likeness of Christ.
