Ep. 862 - Honor-Shame Dynamic of Asian American Customs and Gen Z Cancel-Culture - Kevin Yi

The unique challenges Asian American teens face today may not be so different from what the rest of Gen Z is going through, says Pastor Kevin Yi, and it may have something to do with the changing culture. Kevin has a background in the animation industry and has worked as a video producer. He has a soft spot for helping young people, and he is also a contributing author to The Jesus I Wish I Knew in High School - Asian American Edition. He discusses the honor-shame dynamic often prevalent in Asian households, and how this is similar to the pressurized cancel-culture of modern American society. Kevin additionally touches on the integral component of grace in the Gospel message, and how this draws young people to Christ in a world rife with out-of-control peer pressure. Kevin believes Asian American struggles tend to have a universal application for teens.
