Episode 2 | Burn to Learn

When the most loving thing is to let someone burn. (And sometimes that person is yourself.)

It's hard watching someone crash and burn. We want to rescue others and we want to be rescued. But, in most cases, the most loving thing is to let someone burn - even if that person is yourself.

In this episode of Morning Coffee with PB, we're talking about natural consequences, burning to learn, and discipline. How God, in His infinite love and wisdom, disciplines & allows consequences for us to break, to grow and to heal.

Some questions we're asking: Do you always need to crash and burn in order to learn? How do you know you're being disciplined?

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.
