Ep 24 Purple Mountain Majesties
Go to a good school. Get a good job. Make good money. Marry a good person. Sounds simple enough, right? Sure except for the ones who aren't smart enough, not skilled or disciplined enough, not savvy enough, not attractive enough. Not good enough.
I invite you to listen to Rodrigo Castro's journey into the heart of darkness, where he realized not only was he not good enough for the goals of society, but he also wasn't good enough to make atonement for his sins.
Thankfully, just as God showed He can use a talking donkey to do His will, He can also use an LSD trip to reveal His majesty and grace.

Ep 23 Cult Classic
What do you do when your church boss is ok with false teaching? What do you do when there is someone influential in your church who pretty much resembles a cult leader? What do you do if you have to decide between ministry and spouse?
Listen in as I speak with "Bob" about this predicament. This story is both awful and awesome. (Bob's voice has been digitally altered to protect his identity).

Hatty Lee rejoins me to continue our discussion about growing up as parentified children. In this episode we cover topics such as:
The importance of intentionally creating space for ourselves to identify and express our emotions The fear of losing our identity or role as a caregiver Is there only one way to honor our parents? Avoiding being a "burden" to others Can we prevent our own kids from being parentified children? What can family therapy look like with our parents? Is it helpful to "retire" our parents?

Ep 21 Surrogate Spouse, Surrogate Savior (Part 1)
"You are not equipped to give your parents the love and care they needed and did not get from their own caregivers and partner," says Hatty J. Lee, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
Many of us have felt tremendous pressure to listen to our parents' marital problems, to protect them from loneliness or worthless feelings, to give them grandchildren for their legacy. Sometimes it seems like obligation, duty, or even pity.
Where do these feelings and thoughts come from? What happens when we live as a surrogate spouse, as a surrogate savior?
Hatty and I do a deep dive into this hot topic that affects so many of us. Join the conversation!

Ep 19 Blessed are the Peacemakers
Cheryl Kang Prout and Vivianne Kelly of Cordial Family Lawyers, LLP provide an intimate glimpse into the world of divorce mediation. Some of the questions we discuss:
Are all family lawyers the same? How does divorce affect kids? How is your conscience affected as a family law attorney? Is there a way to make divorce less painful or harmful?

Customer Reviews
The Most Honest Podcast I’ve Listened To
I have been getting so frustrated with podcasts and blogs lately because they always share stories in a way that’s polished and cleaned up. I appreciate Roy Kim and his guests being so honest and so relatable. Thank you for sharing the moments that people tend to be quiet about- because that also tends to be the things we thought we were alone in. Definitely would recommend this to anyone who is wrestling with their faith.
blessing and gift
My 4 month old was just diagnosed with infantile spasm seizures. Listening to James and Salome speak so candidly about their struggles and faith with raising an autistic child is helping me not feel so alone. I hope to become strong like Salome and want to soon be able to say this is all a blessing and gift. Thank you, Roy.
Great podcast
So raw and so real. With social media hiding the "bad" things that happen to our lives, its so easy to feel like we're alone in a lot of situations where things don't really go our way. When you see people, you only see/share the good thats happening in everyone elses lives. This podcast really shows that we're really all on the same boat.
