Shownotes

Dave Lee, a Korean American church planter, shares how his experience growing up not fitting into Korean or white churches drove him to plant a diverse church to reach the nations here in Texas.

4:43 - "God takes cultural misfits to be gospel bridge makers."

6:07 - "Your deepest pain becomes your greatest ministry. God is not the cause of suffering in your life, but He doesn't waste your suffering, He redeems it."

8:41 - "Every culture has beautiful things because it lines up with God's Word and that's what heaven looks like. But also, every culture has broken things that need to be rejected or redeemed."

13:13 - "Obedience always proceeds provision & radical faith reveals your deepest insecurities"

19:38 - "The reward for church planting is not seeing a church with a big building or a lot of people, it's to experience the living God and know Him on a deeper level."

28:20 - "Diversity is our greatest apologetic"

32:31 - "We have to be careful not to villainize someone because they're different from us in the way we do ministry. "

36:02 - "We feel like we have to get to a certain level of Christian before we can actually be used by God for something greater but that's not how it works."

39:10 - "Am I taking the great commission in my life seriously? Are you just seeing ministry as a self-actualization of your own dreams - or are you seeing it as obedience to God's call?"
