Learning Our Names Interview with La Thao
La wrote a book! In this episode, Kathy and Ashley speak with La about co-authoring the book Learning Our Names: Asian Americans on Identity, Relationships, and Vocation. La shares her writing journey as a Hmong American woman and discusses what she hopes the Hmong community might gain from the book.
Learning Our Names: Asian Americans on Identity, Relationships, and Vocation is written by Sabrina Chan, Linson Daniel, E. David De Leon, and La Thao. It is available wherever books are sold. -
Tension
In the last episode of season three, we face the tension we experience with 1 Peter 3:1-6 about the submission of women to their husbands. We express concerns about how misinterpretation of this passage can cause harm to Hmong American women while we remain open to what God has for us from this passage. Join our conversation and let us know what you think on our Instagram @btsspodcast.

Choosing Ourselves
As Hmong daughters, we were formed to become caretakers. But as caretakers, how do we choose to care for ourselves? In this episode, Kathy, Ashley, and La look to the story of the bleeding woman (Matt 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:40-56) as a model of someone choosing herself.

Enjoyment
We recently discovered the book of Ecclesiastes can be a catharsis of sorts for releasing some of our inner thoughts and emotions about life right now. In this episode, we discuss our readings and reflect on the teacher's advice on enjoyment in the midst of survival and uncertainty.

Hospitality
For us, home is hospitality and we cannot talk about one without the other. As we define what home means for us, we discuss hospitality in the Hmong context and how it creates relationships through a process that transforms us from host to guest and guest to host.
