Cultural expectations, multifaceted roles, and emotional burdens uniquely shape the inner lives of second-generation Korean Americans. Through the therapeutic framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this seminar seeks to understand your inner world as a family or system of distinct “parts” that carry roles, emotions, and protective strategies shaped by your experiences. Rather than rejecting these parts, IFS can help you relate to them with curiosity and compassion from the redeemed and centered “Self.” Learn how wounded parts develop, how they carry intergenerational stories, and how they influence our identity, relationships, and spiritual life. Together, we will gain new language and tools to pursue inner healing and journey towards a place of wholeness marked by internal harmony and integration.Reframing Rest as Faithful StewardshipHost: Lina KimInfo: Reframing Rest as Faithful Stewardship: A Strategy to Maintain Healthy Rhythms of Work and Rest in Ministry. Pastors and ministry leaders often carry unspoken, internalized expectations, believing that personal struggle signals spiritual deficiency and that rest equates to weakness. In recent years, record numbers of church leaders have experienced burnout, leading many to leave vocational ministry. How do we best care for not only congregants, but for those who faithfully serve? This workshop invites ministry leaders to reflect on cultural narratives of strength and self-sacrifice that shape work and identity. Jesus’ ministry model demonstrates a life rooted not in self-reliance, but in dependence on God, marked by intentional retreat from ministry to be restored. Together, we will reframe rest not as indulgence, but as an act of trust, and learn practical strategies to engage in meaningful self-care. The workshop will culminate in the development of a personal Rule of Life.The "Why" of Pornography UseHost: Sam LeeInfo: The "Why" of Pornography Use: Applying Compassion, Curiosity, and Care to Understand Individual Stories. Research indicates that a significant proportion of both men and women engage in weekly pornography use. Despite how common pornography use has become, it is seldom talked about due to shame and stigma. Unfortunately, this is also true in churches. Open discussion becomes more difficult when we realize that those in leadership also wrestle with pornography use. But why do people turn to pornography? In this workshop, we explore why people seek pornography, and how we can be better equipped to understand the stories from a framework of compassion and curiosity.From Silence to Understanding: Navigating Racial Stress Across Generations Host: SulA LeeInfo: From Silence to Understanding: Navigating Racial Stress Across Generations. The first round of this workshop will be held in Korean, and the second round will be held in English. Racial stress often functions as an invisible force within many Asian American families, including Korean American communities, shaping inner experiences, family dynamics, and identity. While racial stress originates in broader social contexts, its effects are often lived out within close relationships and everyday family life. Without shared language to name and make sense of these experiences, unspoken pressures can contribute to patterns of perfectionism, emotional distance, and intergenerational misunderstanding. Drawing on relational and intergenerational perspectives, the session explores how these experiences are interpreted within family narratives and cultural expectations, and how they are carried in relationships across generations.
