    [Leaders'] SLP 11: From Scarcity to Generosity: Redeeming Our Money Stories

    In this episode of the Sola Network Leaders Podcast, Aaron Chung (Exilic Church, NYC) sits down with pastors Drew Hyun (Hope Church, NYC) and Dave Park (Mosaic Christian Fellowship, Northvale, NJ) to talk honestly about money, discipleship, and the heart – especially in high-cost, finance-driven cities like New York.They share their family-of-origin stories around money – bankruptcy, scarcity mentality, parents who modeled radical generosity – and explore why money is so often taboo in the church, even though Scripture talks about it constantly. From first principles in Genesis, to the idol of saving, to generosity as spiritual formation, they wrestle with questions like:How do we tell the difference between wise stewardship and hoarding?Is there such a thing as foolish generosity?What does faithful risk look like in investing?How can Christians in finance-heavy contexts use their gifts to advance God’s kingdom?Dave also shares about Korah Funds and the need for sustainable financial structures that support long-term ministry in expensive cities, and the episode closes with a strong reminder from Ecclesiastes: money will not love you back – but generosity can lead to deep joy.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Money and Ministry01:07 Personal Histories with Money03:39 Generosity in the Church06:54 Discipleship and Money Management09:19 Biblical Principles of Wealth10:00 Balancing Saving and Generosity12:58 The Impact of Frugality on Relationships16:03 Faithful Generosity vs. Foolish Generosity17:51 Radical Generosity and Character19:48 Kingdom Consciousness in Financial Decisions20:52 Faith, Risk, and Investment23:19 The Intersection of Ministry and Money26:45 Stewardship and Generosity29:16 The True Nature of Money and Happiness

    [Leaders'] SLP Ep 10: Adoption and Asian American Formation

    In this heartfelt episode, Kristen Whitmore and Wilson Wang sit down with ministry leaders Jamie Lam and JJ Raymond to explore how ethnic identity, faith, and adoption intersect in the lives of Asian American Christians. Together, they share deeply personal stories—from JJ’s experience as a transracial adoptee to Jamie’s journey as a single foster and adoptive mom—and reflect on how God redeems identity, family, and culture for His glory.
