Episode 58 - #ChurchToo Movement, Part 3: A Survivor's Story (feat. Rebecca K. Tan)
TRIGGER WARNING: In these episodes, we discuss the subject matter of relational and sexual abuse and assault. Please exercise discretion and wisdom in listening as the nature of the topic may trigger some individuals.
In the third part of our continuing conversation, we sit down with Rebecca K. Tan, author of But He Said He Is A Christian, to hear her story of surviving relational abuse and assault. In what is often taboo or difficult to talk about, we discuss the importance of bringing to light what is happening in our proximity, becoming more aware of the signs, and what it means for churches and communities to support and walk alongside those being abused and survivors.
Note: Our guest's voice has been altered to protect her identity.

Episode 54 - Listening To Nuance: Observing Faith & Church Experiences Through Ethnography (feat. Scott Wall)
Much has been said about the patterns and social customs of Canadian Asian church and faith experiences, but do those descriptions line up with how people are actually living our lives? Are we jumping to conclusions and preemptively ringing alarm bells? We talk to our friend and ethnographer Scott Wall about the importance of listening well, learning to make distinctions in our understanding, and how that impacts the way in which we approach ministry.

Episode 53 - Secularism & Tension: Asian Witness In French-Speaking Canada (feat. Rici Be)
Almost one quarter of Canada's population resides in the province of Quebec and its distinct culture and history has shaped a unique landscape for ministry. Coming out of a difficult relationship with religion and having embraced secularism which extends all the way to its laws, how can the mission of God be re-imagined and contextualized and what part does the Asian church play to engage people for Christ? We're chatting with our friend and pastor Rici Be from Montreal about his journey and how He has seen the church break through!
