Description

I am so honored and excited to have chaplain and author J.S. Park on the Still Becoming Podcast. I admire J.S., and his work in the world, very much. In this powerful and multi-layered conversation we talk about common humanity, seeing one another up close, holding space, believing the stories people tell about their own experience, and the different ways trauma and racial trauma can impact lives. We also discuss the impact of Covid on real lives (not numbers), and the increased violence against Asian American Pacific Islanders. J.S says in this episode, when you hear someone's story, believe that person. We also discuss his powerful book, The Voices We Carry. This conversation felt sacred, impactful, and rich. I trust that wherever you are, or from whatever unique place you are listening to the words of J.S., you will be moved towards deeper understanding of your own experience, and deeper empathy for the experiences of others. J. S. models for all of us how to how to allow complexities to all exist together, and how to honor the stories of others. I can't wait for you to hear the conversation. ⁣⁣ J. S. Park is a hospital chaplain, published author, viral blogger, teaching pastor. He has spent nearly the past six years as an interfaith chaplain at a 1000+ beds hospital that is designated a Level 1 Trauma Center.
