Episode 23 - Forming A Biblical Perspective Of Mission (feat. Dr. Christopher Wright)
Kicking off the new year with a conversation with international missiologist and author Dr. Christopher Wright! Not only do we get to hear a bit about the journey of this brilliant thinker, but we get to unpack and explore the ways in which we have formed our view of the mission of God through Scripture, some of the pitfalls we may face in our reading and cultural influences, and how we are invited to participate in His story in our lives and ministries. LET'S DO THIS!!!

BONUS: Outtakes with Lisa Pak (Lessons From Waiting & Uncertainty)
Waiting and uncertainty are some of the hardest lessons to learn in life. Hear the other side of the story of Rev. Lim's persecution (Ep. 16) from those who were back home in Canada awaiting updates, learning to trust God, and seeing new opportunities in which to engage the world!
There were so many great insights from our last conversation with Lisa that we weren't able to squeeze it all into our main episode (Episode 21), but we really thought they were worth sharing and wrestling through.

Episode 22 - First Year Reflection & Listener Questions On Retention, Proximity, and Racism
It's the end of our first year and we take a moment to reflect on the incredible opportunity to engage in the conversation around the mission of God in the Canadian Asian context. It's been a wild ride of listening, learning from others, and working out what it means for us on many levels! Plus, we get a chance to respond quickly to some of the feedback and questions that our listeners have given us.
For Shu, Bernard, and Jon, Merry Christmas and thanks for joining us on this journey!

BONUS: Spotlight on Japanese Culture, Part 2 (feat. Martin & Ruth Ghent)
As we continue to form our understanding of the Canadian Asian landscape, we dive deeper into the Japanese culture to examine their connection to place, the shut-in culture, the values of honour and shame, and their distant perspective on religions. Join us with our missionary friends Martin & Ruth Ghent as we explore Japanese heritage, how gospel engagement can look, and what we can learn from this unique culture towards understanding Canadian Asian ministries.

BONUS: Spotlight on Filipino Canadian Churches, Part 1 (feat. Narry Santos)
As one of the youngest Asian people groups, Filipinos have quickly integrated and adapted to all aspects of Canadian life, while maintaining their values and history from their country of origin. Whether it be a history with the Catholic church, the strong bond of the family, the diaspora around the world, or the nobility of sacrificially working abroad, Filipinos have been shaped by so many factors in the way they understand themselves as a people and in their relationship with God and the church.
Join us as we dive into this specific cultural context with special guest Dr. Narry Santos as we explore Filipino heritage and Christianity and examine what we can learn from this unique church culture and our understanding of Canadian Asian ministries.

Episode 18 - Navigating The World Of Politics Through A Missional Perspective
As the church on the mission of God, how do we discern and engage with the political arena as we seek the flourishing of our neighbourhoods and cities? What is our understanding between the relationship between the government and the church, especially through our cultural lenses, and how can we respond to differences of platforms and policies? On the eve of a municipal election, we jump into the conversation to unpack this complicated topic and imagine a new way to be the tangible presence of God in our world!
