Stay ConnectedCentering is the Asian American Christian Podcast: conversations on Christ, the Christian life, and Asian American perspectives.
Through our podcast seasons, as well as specially presented content, we dive into the reality and beauty of living out Asian American Christian faith.
Centering is a production of the Center for Asian American Theology and Ministry at Fuller Theological Seminary.
The Reverend Jeney Park-Hearn joins us to discuss how churches, as the primary space through which Asian American Christians gain an understanding about mental/relational health, can support and assist us in our mental well-being.
Where does mental health - or stress - come from? Is it an individual and intrapsychic issue, or does it come from the social reality of our contextual identity and sociopolitical realities? For this conversation, Jessica is joined by Lana Kim, Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology at Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling.
We're back! It's season 3 of CENTERING: the Asian American Christian Podcast. This season, our new host Dr. Jessica ChenFeng will be guiding us through a series of topics on psychology and mental health. For this episode, she joins Professor Migum Gweon of Fuller Seminary as they explore how we understand mental and relationship health as it relates to faith, culture, and race in our Asian American context.
Even over the past 12 months, Asian American representation has made historical breakthroughs into popular culture. How do we, as Asian American Christians, think about these new developments? For this final episode of Season 2, Irene welcomes sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen (author, "Reel Inequality" - www.nancywyuen.com) and rapper/poet Jason Chu (www.jasonchumusic.com)!
Culture is evolving at a faster pace than ever before. How can our conversations with Asian American Youth also evolve, growing deeper and better? Join the conversation between our guests Jane Hong-Guzman de Leon, Rosanna Suh, and Kevin Ahn, along with host Irene Cho, on this week's episode of Centering!
A good & growing number of Asian American Christians are involved and engaged with justice work in our communities. But why does it seem like the Asian American Church can be so silent on the issues of social justice and activism? Join Kevin Doi (Minister; Founder, JOYA Scholars) and Jane Hong (Pastor; Social Media Coordinator, ISAAC), along with our host Irene M. Cho, for a conversation about social justice and Asian American Christians.
It’s been said that the next generation will be the most blended of all. Susie Gamez (https://www.womenspeakerscollective.com/susie-gamez) and Erina Kim-Eubanks (https://twitter.com/erinaspeaks) join us to discuss the struggles and joys of being married to a non-Asian partner and raising biracial children.
Let’s talk about dealing with and surviving toxic White spaces as Asian American Christians. Nikita Joy (www.joyhomemade.com) and Dr. Joyce Del Rosario (www.joycedelrosario.com) visit Irene for an episode of Centering on self-care and survival amidst microaggressions and marginalization.
Why does Christian culture have such an obsession with marriage, while young people are getting married later, or not at all? This week, Gio Panginda and Jen Hananouchi, both from the Fuller Youth Institute, join us to talk about their experiences as single leaders in the Asian American Christian church.
This week, we feature a conversation between two women ministers as they discuss toxic masculinity and Asian American church culture. Ruby Varghese of Quest Church joins Irene for an episode of Centering about women leadership in Asian American churches.
