Welcome to the English podcast of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of America where we dive into Korean and Korean-American challenges and solutions in the KM and EM church models.

Hear the painful story of doing pastoral ministry in the Korean Church but later being called to plant 3 churches.

Pastor John Kim was part of the 1st wave of English speaking Korean pastors in Southern California. I enjoyed our time together on the podcast.

Church planting is not as common in the Korean church but Pastor John Kim planted 3 churches. For someone who once hated Koreans and was deeply hurt and betr...

This is 1 podcast you don't want to miss!
I have been so excited to upload this episode.

Pastor Byungjoo Song is one of the few KM Senior Pastors that I know who models humility and genuinely loves and serves the EM congregation and pastors.

There are are SO MANY nuggets of wisdom and explanation about KM leadership that your Korean Churches can use and reflect upon.

PLEASE SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH OTHERS!

If you are a Korean Christian, then this podcast episode will be one of the most eye opening experiences of your life. Pastor Byung Joo Song was my old KM se...

Taking a short break from the traditional podcast with guests.
This is an introduction to our vision for KM and EM at our seminary. We are going to build a seminary that brings KM and EM pastors from the same church to learn academically and to also learn how to do ministry together well.

There will be a series a videos made about our program In these next couple of months.

We hope you can help us spread the word so that more people can be aware.

And please ask questions or connect with me so that I can learn more about your perspective.

The whole purpose of this podcast channel is to build awareness about KM and EM ministry and to build momentum for our new M.Div program. Our English speakin...

More is Caught than Taught from KM pastors.

When you are a recipient of love and trust, your leadership and ministry will be fruitful and full of joy in your English context.

Pastor Harold Kim's story and experience in church ministry is very unique. Just his story about how he met his wife Sun Hi is worth listening to our podcast. :)

Thumbnail is wrong. For some reason it's not updating but this is Episode 4



Having little to no problems or issues with KM pastors and Korean churches is a unique experience. When the pastor lives out the character of humility, trust...

Today my computer shook after it finished uploading the podcast because of the power of my guest.

Probably the most well networked Korean American Pastor I know, the godfather of Korean Pastors (as we sometimes refer to him) and my long time mentor, Pastor Benjamin Shin is here.

We chat about a lot of ministry and leadership and he's got some shocking stories to share.



Pastor Ben Shin is the godfather of Korean American pastors. Most Korean American pastors know Pastor Ben and seek him for mentorship, coaching and ministry ...

KM pastors didn't develop the EM pastors because of language and cultural barriers. But remember the EM was all new to both sides In the 80's and 90's.

No one really knew how to do it well.

Unfortunately, that either produced EM pastors who learned unhealthy leadership practices or became comfortable being the main authoritative leader who controlled all ministries.

This then creates a pattern for pastors In their late 30's and 40's who now understandably adopted the style leadership that our EM pastor displayed for us.

We hope to break this patter.

That is one of our goals with our M.Div program.

This is part of a new project that I am helping Presbyterian Theological Seminary of America (a well known Korean speaking seminary) develop an English speaking M.div program.

This channel will serve as the English Content sharing branch of the seminary.

I grew up thinking about how we needed the KM to have an open ear and learn more from the EM so that our church could be more effective.

It wasn't until I was in my late 30's that I thought about how much the EM also needed to do the same.

Morning prayer was one of those odd practices that Korean Americans dreaded.

But there is much more going on here than just the prayer.

There is a a valuable learning lesson that the EM can learn here from this practice

That is one of our goals with our M.Div program.
