MultiAsian.Church: A White Pastor Ministering in a Japanese American Church with Grace and Truth
What is it like for a Caucasian to pastor and minister in an Asian American church? Pastor Matty Blevins shares all in this conversation with DJ Chuang. Well, not everything, but some things he's learned along the way, since he's only been in a non-white church context for a year and a half.

Can we talk about Asian American pastors and pornography?
Roy Kim talks with DJ Chuang about this taboo subject of how pastors struggle with pornography. Too many pastors struggle secretly with porn addiction. Research says 57% of pastors have struggled with porn and Asian pastors and Asian American ones are no exception. This ugly struggle is true for many men, and some women, regardless of ethnic background, whether Korean American, Chinese American, Japanese American, Indian American, and the many other ethnicities and nationalities in the world, Asians and non-Asians alike.

Leadership Development: Multi-Asian Church Podcast Episode 5
For those of you keeping score at home, this is episode number 5. In this episode of the Multi-Asian Church Podcast Series, Ed Choy and I talk about developing Asian American leaders in the context of an multi-Asian/multi-ethnic churches.
You’ll need to listen more carefully, since the background noise at this episode’s Starbucks (in Dallas) was louder than last week’s Starbucks location (in Newport Beach).

Episode 4 of the Multi-Asian Church Podcast: Leadership
The conversation continues. In episode 4 of the Multi-Asian Church Podcast Series, Ed Choy and DJ Chuang discuss leadership, and how can church leaders better develop and connect with Asian American leaders.

Vision Revisited: Episode 3 of the Multi-Asian Church Podcast
Yes there’s more to be said about the importance of vision. In episode 3 of the Multi-Asian Church Podcast Series, Ed Choy and I dig deeper into how to communicate compelling vision in multi-Asian/multi-ethnic churches. While the gifts of a strong communicator is valuable, it isn’t the magic bullet in getting vision to stick. We discuss several other factors in developing vision, developing leaders, and developing the church. And I even mention a couple of specific examples, venturing into dangerous territory there because that can open up more room for misunderstanding, as if we haven’t done that already.

Communicating Vision: Episode 2 of the Multi-Asian Church Podcast
Continuing the conversation with Ed Choy about multi-Asian/multi-ethnic churches. (For the record, Ed is 1/4 Chinese.) The topic is on communicating vision. Of course vision is important. Without vision people perish. But how does vision play into developing Asian American leaders for a multi-Asian/multi-ethnic church? How does vision need to be communicated? It did take us a while for the conversation to warm up on this podcast — skip right to 9:44 if you want to get right to the meat, er, heat.

Next Gener.Asian Church Skypecast
We'd had some offline conversations and put the Asian American Emergent Skypecast to bed (or, on ice, if you prefer a more wintery metaphor.)
Apparently, 1 word in that mix, Emergent, scared off some people. And, our conversations weren't all that alarmingly edgy emergent, at least not theologically ambiguous and exploratory enough to warrant the label, even though we did stay conversational and unstructured.
We've had a handful of great skypecasts over the past months, virtually connecting emerging leaders ministering to Asian American Christians around the U.S., Canada, and even Malaysia. Now the skypecast is being resurrected under a new name.
2nd Asian American Emergents Skypecast
This 2nd Asian American Emergents Skypecast happened on Sunday night, August 27th, 2006. On this conference call were: DJ Chuang, Ben Pun, David Park, and Sivin Kit. We had conversations on topics like these:
- How does the emergent conversation impact the issues of the Asian American Church?
- No Asian American emergent cohort in your area? No problem!
- What is Emergent missing by not having many visible Asian American participants?

Daily Commute with DJ Chuang, July 14, 2005
on an evening commute from Chantilly, Virginia, to Bethesda, Maryland.. talked about coughing, interruption from a phone call, transition to a new role at work, thoughts about podcasting, rain in the background noise

my ramblings: trying to do a podcast without post-production; talked about attending a friend’s wedding at Princeton Chapel; emerging church conversation being largely a communication gap
