Seasonal and Long Term Community Part 1 (s7e03)
In 2016, high school Victoria met high school Christin. Somehow, Christin thought Victoria was cool- an adjective Victoria did not believe about herself to be true until 2024 when cool adult Christin met cool adult Victoria. Their current subjective definition of “cool” is equivalent to “weird- the good kind”.
Listen to the story of how the two met during one pivotal transition period for Victoria. Consider their following questions: When you are in a temporary season of life (e.g. a new school for education, a foreign country for language learning, a different state for employment) is it worth investing in new friendships? What is your general definition of a “good” friend? How do you maintain long distance friendships? What do you do when friends drain your energy or you face conflict?
Submit your answer to our bonus question at the end and your reasoning!

Rest: Season 7 Episode 1
Victoria's hot take: hustle culture is antithetical to human flourishing. Let's define hustle culture. Many people overvalue being productive and/or becoming an idealized version of themselves at the expense of their own health. As a result, people don't know how or when to rest properly. Burnout coupled with mental, physical, and emotional issues are too common. Productivity isn't inherently negative! Work and rest should function within God's design for humanity.

So good!
Really appreciate how authentic this podcast. It’s so comforting to hear us talk about a topic that affects Asian Americans so deeply yet is rarely addressed. Loved hearing Victoria Cheng’s story too!
God has brought revelation and healing from this podcast!
I’m so glad I discovered (or God led me) to this podcast! I was listening for encouragement, inspiration and practical spiritual and emotional health education but God did me one better and powerfully ministered to my spirit through this podcast as well! Wow! Thanks and keep up the great ministry through this, DJ and the community!
Awesome!
So glad I found you ! Thanks!
