The Abide community is invited to attend these webinars, featuring the same breakout sessions offered at our 2024 gathering. We are hosting them again so everyone has a chance to attend all three conversations. We hope you will join us to both learn from and reconnect with other members of the Abide community.
We also want to open up these conversations to your friends. This could be a great opportunity for you to invite a friend to get to know the Abide community and what we’re about.

We Are Liminality and We Don’t Have to Choose a Side
Tasha Jun
As multiracial, and bicultural individuals, many of us have grown up being told we weren't the “full” or “whole” version of our ethnicity, or we’ve had our Asian American identity challenged. In this webinar, Tasha Jun will be reading from her book, Tell Me the Dream Again, which tells her journey of moving from rejection to embracing who she is. You will have the opportunity to work on an identity statement that captures the fullness of your multiracial, or multicultural identity in an interactive time that will welcome communal affirmation.
Tasha is a mixed race Korean American melancholy dreamer with a contemplative soul. She grew up in a multicultural and biracial home and because of that, she’s spent her life navigating cultural collisions and liminal space. She sees the world best through stories and poetry. She is passionate about helping others notice beauty and embrace themselves as wholly beloved. She writes about everyday life, faith, and cultural and ethnic identity; writing has always been the way she’s found hope and shalom. She lives in the greater Indianapolis area with her family and is currently a student Spiritual Director.

Past Events
JANUARY - MAY 2025 | Abide Community Groups
For Past Abide Attendees: One of the most powerful ways we can experience connection, healing, and growth is through being in an intentional, safe conversation group with others. We piloted two groups in 2025: a women's group led by Jean Park and Nancy Chan, and a men's group led by David Park and DJ Chuang. Groups met on a bi-weekly rhythm from January to May 2025.
FALL 2024 | Virtual Book Club:
The Deepest Place by Curt Thompson

ABIDE ZOOM CONVERSATIONS - SPRING 2024
We invited the Abide community and friends to join us for these Zoom conversations, which were the same conversation topics that we split up for at the 2023 Abide Gathering. The purpose of these meetings was to give everyone a chance to attend all three conversations.
Generational Blessings and Burdens (February 2024)
Jean Park led a conversation about how to discern whether the stories we are living out of from our family of origin are blessings or burdens. She discussed how to redeem those that are burdens so that we can pass on those that are blessings for the next generation.
Jean has her Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy from Fuller Seminary. She is currently practicing as a soul coach with clients all over the world. She lives in New York City with David and their three teen/tween boys.
The Beauty and Practice of Sabbath (April 2024)
Drew Hyun led a conversation about how to see sabbath for the life giving gift that it is. He has been faithfully practicing sabbath for over ten years and will share how to practically implement this gift in our busy lives.
Drew is the lead pastor of Hope Church NYC, a family of three churches in New York City that have planted six other churches in the Hope Church network. He's a leader in the Emotionally Healthy Discipleship movement as well as the New City Network of urban churches. He lives in New York City with Christina and their two children.
Career and Life Vision (May 2024)
Andy Chan led a conversation about how we can think holistically about our careers and develop a personal life vision that is aligned with our beliefs and values. His workshop is a practical, insightful guide that has been taught for nearly 20 years.
Andy is the Vice President of Wake Forest University where he leads their career innovation and development initiatives for students and alumni. He has been a leader in talent identification and development in both corporate and higher education for over 25 years, and was an executive at Stanford Business School and several edtech startups prior to Wake Forest.
