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 will be piloting two groups this coming year: a women's group led by Jean Park and Nancy Chan, and a men's group led by David Park and DJ Chuang. Groups will meet on a bi-weekly rhythm from January to May 2025.
Join us for an Info Session on Wednesday, October 30 at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT. Get the Zoom link and more info by emailing rema@abidegathering.org.
Past Events
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. We hope to do this again in 2025, for the AG24 breakout sessions.
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. He lives in Winston-Salem, NC, is recently engaged to Kathryn Sain, and has three adult children.
