Wilson Wang and Roy Kim continue discussing the topic of sexual addiction. Some of our talking points:
The case for accountability groups
Paul Kelly's 5 column plan
Practicing honesty is part of recovery. Ministry leaders must lead the way.
Our hope for the Church to be gracious to those who truly want to heal.
We had no one to coach us through our emotions, and this created consequences in adulthood.
We hope something we share helps you feel like there are others in the same boat as you!

Wilson Wang and Roy Kim continue discussing the topic of sexual addiction. Some of our talking points: How many pastors do we think have a sexual addiction? How do pastors preach so well and lead so well, yet have this huge secret life? Are there yellow flags in "spotting" a sexual addict in ministry leadership? If people are getting saved and ministry is thriving because of a pastor's leadership, is their sexual addiction the necessary blood payment since it's their outlet for stress? What should we be asking God to do in this worldwide situation?
We hope something we share helps you feel like there are others in the same boat as you!

Wilson Wang and Roy Kim dive into part one of the topic of sexual addiction. Some of our talking points:
Confessing porn viewing, masturbation, and other sexual behaviors can feel as difficult as confessing murder. There are very few church onramps for talking about sexual addiction. What enabled Wilson and Roy to talk more openly about it? Is masturbation really that bad? What's a better way to phrase this question? How many in the church engage in compulsive sexual behavior? What are some ways to address sexual addiction in the church?

Roy Kim and Wilson Wang dive into a new series revolving around the topic of Relationships. In this episode, we talk about how lonely it can feel when we don't have significant relationships, whether they be romantic relationships or friendships.
Some of our talking points:
We get why people talk to toys or imaginary friends. Being extremely popular and extremely lonely at the same time. The loneliness of pastoring. Escaping from loneliness through games and porn. What happens if all your friends are married/dating or don't have time for you? The heartache of being an older single and there's no natural "group" for you at church. What if your hobbies don’t align with the majority of your church people? What are strategies to make friends as adults? Do married people do things that are off-putting to singles? Dating and marriage does not cure loneliness.As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.

Asian American Christians have been leaving the immigrant church for various reasons, and one of the consequences is strong homesickness.
Wilson Wang and Roy Kim share some of their reflections about missing the immigrant church, despite all its flaws.
Some of their talking points include:
Nostalgic and familiar Asian family dynamics at church The centrality of eating together at church Getting scolded at the immigrant church is normal, but getting scolded at a White church is grounds for a fist fight Pastoral visitations are so inefficient, but can feel so good! Obedience to a pastor who knows you vs obedience to a pastor on a screen; and more.Plus, we answer listener questions such as: Is there a way to explain to people why you are leaving church, but without slandering?
As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.

A common experience for people in English speaking ministries (EM's) is feeling like they have no voice. They feel an innate pressure to comply with the immigrant church leadership, with little room for discussion.
What does it do to a person's psyche when you feel like your voice doesn't count, not just in a church context, but in any context for that matter?
Wilson Wang, Jenna Fu, and Roy Kim share some of their own EM experiences of having no voice, as well as their thoughts of the implications.
Some of their talking points include: invasion of privacy; protecting the pulpit from false doctrine; Korean Morning Prayer; when is it time to leave? is it grace to allow a congregation to collapse? and more.
As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.

English speaking ministries (EM's) and immigrant churches have had trouble finding ways to thrive together for various reasons. Many of these EM's have left the 1st generation churches, a trend that Helen Lee coined a "silent exodus."
Wilson Wang, Jenna Fu, and Roy Kim share some of their own EM experiences. They discuss mixed feelings such as "It's so nice to belong here with a village of aunties and uncles" as well as "How do we belong where there's so much condescension and heresy?"

A story about my wife, my stepdaughter, and the Lord God who wove us together. This episode bookends a beautiful season of stories and conversations about life behind the curtain. The things we don't post about. The things that drive us to isolation. The things that make us say "Thank God you said that" because we didn't want to say it first.
My deep heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported this podcast in various ways. It really is an honor to be in the same boat as you. I hope you will continue to show your support as the same boat sets sail in season two ⛵️
** Make sure to listen to the very end. You never know, there might be some jokes told by a 10 1/2 year old ...
