When South Korean Pastor Son Hyun-bo was mocked and beaten repeatedly for attending church, he said, "It was a privilege to be persecuted for God." Now, he's under threat of arrest for leading with his faith in an increasingly communist nation. In this message, Pastors Rob McCoy and Son Hyun-bo share about the ongoing struggle for religious freedom currently underway in South Korea. They share Pastor Son's testimony and the political parallels between his nation and ours. "Freedom can slip away suddenly," Pastor Son reminds us, so let's heed his warning and fight while we can for true freedom—freedom that comes from God alone.

The Pastorate's Lead Pastor FellowshipEmotionally Healthy DiscipleshipHope Church NYCBeautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful by Drew HyunA Grace Disguised by Dr. Jerry SittserWater from a Deep Well by Dr. Jerry SittserThe Pastorate ConferenceThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode NotesToday's episode is part three of our summer series exploring our pastoral formation cohorts here at The Pastorate. This episode features Drew Hyun and Dr. Jerry Sittser, profiling their time spent with last year's cohort of The Lead Pastor Fellowship. Drew Hyun is the Lead Pastor of Hope Church NYC and Executive Director of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship. Drew shares the unpolished version of his own story: growing up a pastor's kid in a Korean immigrant church that split twice before he hit middle school, watching his father go from a harsh, at times violent man at home to a celebrated Christian author and speaker in Korea, and the gap that opened up between his own public ministry persona and a private life marked by hidden addiction and unprocessed rage. He traces how a chance internship exposed him to Pete Scazzero's "iceberg" picture of discipleship, the ten percent above the surface and ninety percent buried beneath it, and how that encounter became the seed of emotionally healthy discipleship in his own life. Drew confesses that it's entirely possible to do ministry for God without God, and that the deepest work of leadership is letting Jesus into the deepest and darkest parts of our hearts. Following Drew, Dr. Jerry Sittser, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Senior Fellow at Whitworth University, teaches on pastoral care through irreversible loss, the kind that permanently changes the landscape of a life. Drawing on his own experience, losing his wife, mother, and daughter in a single car accident, Dr. Sittser rejects the idea of "stages of grief" and other neat recovery paradigms in favor of learning to carry loss for good, being transformed rather than finding resolution. He offers pastors concrete counsel: resist rushing to answers, know which biblical text fits which moment, help people ritualize mourning instead of just enduring it, and help them build a community of people who can shoulder their burdens.In this episode you'll hear:Drew's story of growing up a pastor's kid inside two church splits, including a church fistfight that the LAPD had to break up,An exploration of the phrase: "Jesus may live in your heart, but Grandpa lives in your bones,"Why it's entirely possible to do ministry for God without God, even while seeing real spiritual fruit,Pete Scazzero's iceberg image and how it became the seed of a discipleship model that goes beneath the surface,Dr. Sittser's own story of catastrophic loss, and why he rejects "stages of grief" in favor of integration and transformation,How to discern when to speak and when to sit in silence with someone carrying irreversible loss,Practical postures for walking with people through suffering. PartnersWe couldn't do the work we do at The Pastorate without your generous support.

He is a freediving instructor who runs Jeju Freediving School near Seopseom Island in Seogwipo and goes into the ocean every day. After working as a brand manager at a foreign pharmaceutical company for 11 years, a trip to Jeju led him to ask himself, “Am I happy?” and eventually change the direction of his life. Through freediving, he shares the experience of entering the sea on a single breath and observing the body and mind, seeing it as a kind of meditation underwater. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Jeju Freediving School has grown into a space where several instructors now work together to help shape Jeju's freediving culture. He hopes the school will continue not simply as a place to earn a certificate, but as a place where people can encounter something real in the ocean and discover new possibilities for their own lives.

Beautiful, Disappointing, and Hopeful: A Conversation with Drew Hyun Daniel and Yulee sit down with Drew Hyun—founding and lead pastor of Hope Church New York, executive director of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, and author of Beautiful, Disappointing, and Hopeful—for an honest conversation about the long, often painful road of emotional and spiritual transformation. Drew traces his journey back to a summer internship in Queens that changed everything: arriving expecting to learn urban ministry, and instead being introduced to Pete Scazzero's emerging framework of emotionally healthy discipleship. From there, the conversation moves into deeply personal territory: Drew's early skepticism and "Pharisee" posture toward inner work, and the slow unraveling of his neat theological categories through grief, 9/11, and family loss His complicated, healing relationship with his father—including the moment his father, after reading Drew's manuscript, wrote back: "I wish I could've been a better daddy" A painful, years-long falling out with mentor Pete Scazzero, and what it took to reconcile Why grief is often the hardest spiritual practice to access—illustrated by a story of Drew "losing it" while caring for his kids during his wife's medical emergency, and what that taught him about over-functioning as a trauma response How leaning into his own Korean American story—rather than erasing it—has shaped his leadership of a multiethnic church, and why "the most particular is the most universal" Practicing slow, embodied spirituality (Sabbath, silence, monastic rhythms) in the relentless pace of New York City What grounds his hope for the local church despite real reasons for disillusionment A vulnerable, unhurried conversation that's part theology, part memoir, and a good reminder that there's no shortcut to becoming whole.

Jinsu awkwardly started the conversation.Ko: 민지는 고개를 끄덕였고, 현은 휴대폰에서 눈을 떼며 "맞아, 어릴 때 이곳이 참 좋았어,"라고 했다.En: Minji nodded, and Hyun glanced up from his phone, saying, "Yeah, I used to love this place when I was younger."Ko: 네 사람은 천천히 걸으며 옛 추억 속의 이야기들을 나누기 시작했다.En: The three began to slowly walk and share stories from their past memories.Ko: 공룡 전시를 지나며 진수가 말했다. "여기 자주 와서 도시락 먹었잖아."En: As they passed the dinosaur exhibit, Jinsu said, "Remember how we used to come here and eat our lunches?"Ko: 민지가 웃었다. "맞아! 항상 네 도시락이 먼저 없어졌었지."En: Minji laughed. "That's right! Your lunch always disappeared first."Ko: 현은 "그리고 너희가 내 과자를 훔쳐 갔잖아,"라며 장난스럽게 말했다. 그 말에 세 사람은 한동안 웃음을 멈추지 못했다.En: Hyun playfully added, "And you guys used to steal my snacks," causing the three of them to laugh without stopping for a while.Ko: 하지만 그 웃음은 이전처럼 자연스럽지 않았다.En: However, the laughter wasn't as natural as it used to be.Ko: 모든 것이 많이 달라졌고 각자의 삶이 바빠지면서 예전만큼 자주 보지 못하게 되었다.En: So much had changed, and with everyone's busy lives, they didn't get to see each other as often as before.Ko: 진수는 사람들의 발길이 드문 전시관 구석으로 형제들을 이끌었다.En: Jinsu led his siblings to a quieter corner of the exhibition hall.Ko: "우리 어릴 적 패턴을 다시 해 볼래?" 진수가 제안했다.En: "Do you want to try our childhood routine again?" Jinsu suggested.Ko: 세 사람은 서로의 눈을 보며 조용히 미소 지었다.En: The three of them looked into each other's eyes and exchanged quiet smiles.Ko: 그 순간, 어린 시절의 장난스러운 감정이 그들을 감쌌다.En: In that moment, the playful feelings of childhood enveloped them.Ko: 결국, 그들은 그들의 가장 좋아했던 공룡 전시 앞에 섰다.En: Eventually, they stood before their favorite dinosaur exhibit.Ko: 거대한 티라노사우르스 렉스는 모양 그대로 그곳에 서 있었다.En: The giant Tyrannosaurus Rex was still standing in its place.Ko: "여기서 사진 찍자," 진수가 말했다.En: "Let's take a picture here," Jinsu said.Ko: 사진 뒤에 남은 것은 찬란한 웃음과 과거의 추억이었다.En: What remained after the picture was taken were brilliant smiles and memories of the past.Ko: 사람들은 그들이 떠날 때까지 그들의 장난스러운 대화를 즐겼다.En: People enjoyed their playful conversation until they left.Ko: 박물관을 나오면서 진수는 자신의 마음이 다시 따뜻해진 것을 느꼈다.En: As they exited the museum, Jinsu felt his heart warm again.Ko: "자, 자주 모이자. 여기뿐만 아니라 다른 곳에서도," 진수가 말했다.En: "Let's meet often. Not just here, but other places too," he said.Ko: 현과 민지는 고개를 끄덕이며 찬성했다.En: Hyun and Minji nodded in agreement.Ko: 거리는 여전히 활기찼고, 그들은 차례로 전철역으로 걸어갔다.En: The streets were still lively as they walked in turn towards the subway station.Ko: 그날 이후, 그들은 만나기로 한 약속을 지켰다.En: After that day, they kept their promise to meet.Ko: 진수의 마음은 더 이상 외롭지 않았고, 형제들과의 시간이 더 중요하게 느껴졌다.En: Jinsu's heart no longer felt lonely, and the time with his siblings felt more important.Ko: 바쁜 일상 속에서도 그들은 가족의 소중함을 다시금 깨닫게 되었다.En: Amid their busy daily lives, they once again realized the value of family.

Please go ahead."Ko: 고객은 중요한 기한을 언급했다.En: The client mentioned an important deadline.Ko: 기한은 가족 모임과 겹쳤다.En: The deadline coincided with the family gathering.Ko: 진우는 마음속으로 고민에 빠졌다.En: Jinwoo became lost in thought.Ko: '어떻게 해야 할까? 가족과의 시간을 포기해야 하나? 아니면 이 기회를?'En: 'What should I do? Should I give up time with family? Or this opportunity?'Ko: 그 순간, 형 현이 다가왔다.En: At that moment, his older brother Hyun approached.Ko: “그래도 가족이 먼저잖아. 우리는 너를 응원할 거야.”En: "Family comes first, you know. We'll support you."Ko: 현의 말을 듣고 진우는 마음이 흔들렸다.En: Hearing Hyun's words, Jinwoo wavered.Ko: 결국, 진우는 고객에게 말했다. “제 팀이 잘 처리할 수 있습니다. 오늘은 가족과 함께할 시간입니다.”En: In the end, Jinwoo told the client, "My team can handle it well. Today, I need time with my family."Ko: 전화를 끊은 후, 진우는 마당으로 돌아갔다.En: After ending the call, Jinwoo returned to the yard.Ko: 민지가 웃으며 “잘했어, 오빠!”라고 말했다.En: Minji smiled and said, "You did well, oppa!"Ko: 진우는 따뜻한 마음을 느꼈다.En: Jinwoo felt warmth in his heart.Ko: 그는 가족의 소중함을 깨달았다. 그리고 자신이 혼자가 아니라는 것도.En: He realized the importance of family and that he was not alone.Ko: 팀을 믿고 가족의 중요성을 알게 된 그는 미소 지었다.En: Trusting in his team and understanding the significance of family, he smiled.Ko: 마당에서는 아이들의 웃음소리와 함께 따뜻한 여름밤이 흘러갔다.En: In the yard, the sounds of children's laughter filled the air as the warm summer night continued.Ko: 진우는 가족과 함께 그 순간들을 마음껏 즐겼다.En: Jinwoo eagerly savored those moments with his family.Ko: 그리고 다시 한 번 다짐했다. 가족과 업무 두 가지 모두를 조화롭게 지켜나가겠다고.En: And once again, he made a vow—to balance both family and work harmoniously.

The squirrel took my hat!" Minji exclaimed.Ko: 준은 "걱정마. 내가 그거 꼭 잡아볼게,"라고 했습니다.En: Jun said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely catch it."Ko: 준은 다람쥐를 쫓아가기 시작했습니다.En: Jun started chasing the squirrel.Ko: 다람쥐는 경복궁의 아름다운 정원을 누비며 준을 깔끔하게 따돌렸습니다.En: The squirrel skillfully evaded Jun as it darted through the beautiful garden of Gyeongbokgung.Ko: 민지와 현은 그 모습을 보며 웃음을 참을 수 없었습니다.En: Minji and Hyun couldn't hold back their laughter as they watched.Ko: 준은 잠시 숨을 고르며 새로운 계획을 생각했습니다.En: Pausing for a moment to catch his breath, Jun began thinking of a new plan.Ko: 그는 다람쥐의 관심을 끌기 위해 가지고 있던 과자를 꺼냈습니다.En: He took out a snack to attract the squirrel's attention.Ko: 다람쥐는 과자를 보고 관심을 보였습니다.En: The squirrel showed interest upon seeing the snack.Ko: 준이 과자를 바닥에 놓자 다람쥐는 조심스럽게 접근했습니다.En: As Jun placed the snack on the ground, the squirrel approached cautiously.Ko: 그런데 그때, 현이 갑작스레 다람쥐에게 다가가자 다람쥐는 놀라 도망가 버렸습니다.En: But then, when Hyun suddenly moved towards the squirrel, it got scared and ran away.Ko: 그 순간, 관광객 무리가 지나가던 중 지나치던 한 할머니의 가방에서 떨어진 생거지 블록 덕분에 고꾸라지던 다람쥐가 모자를 떨어뜨렸습니다.En: At that moment, as a group of tourists was passing by, an elderly woman accidentally dropped a "생거지" block from her bag, causing the startled squirrel to drop the hat.Ko: 준과 민지와 현은 함께 웃음을 터뜨렸습니다.En: Jun, Minji, and Hyun burst into laughter together.Ko: 다람쥐는 빠르게 모자를 내려놓고 숲으로 돌아갔습니다.En: The squirrel quickly left the hat and returned to the forest.Ko: 관광객들은 상황을 인식하지 못한 채 그저 웃음을 주는 한순간이었습니다.En: The tourists, unaware of the situation, found it to be just a moment of amusement.Ko: 결국 모자가 안전하게 돌아왔고, 민지는 준에게 감사했습니다.En: Ultimately, the hat was safely returned, and Minji thanked Jun.Ko: 그날의 추억을 되새기며, 준은 민지에게 인상 깊은 하루를 보여줄 필요 없이 그저 함께 웃고 추억을 만드는 것이 더 중요하다는 것을 깨달았습니다.En: Reflecting on the day's memories, Jun realized that it was more important to simply laugh and create memories together rather than trying to impress Minji with something extraordinary.Ko: 세 사람은 경복궁에서의 재미있는 모험과 함께 우정을 더 돈독히 하며 하루를 마무리했습니다.En: The three ended the day with a stronger friendship after their fun adventure at Gyeongbokgung.

But let's make sure to be safe."Ko: 형과 동생은 함께 산길을 따라 걷기 시작했습니다.En: The brother and sister began to walk together along the mountain path.Ko: 민지는 꽃을 보며 웃고, 나비를 쫓아다녔습니다.En: Minji laughed while looking at the flowers and chased after butterflies.Ko: 반면, 현은 조용히 주변을 둘러보았습니다.En: Meanwhile, Hyun quietly observed his surroundings.Ko: 형제는 서로 다른 걸 원했지만, 함께하는 시간에는 즐거움이 있었습니다.En: They wanted different things, but there was joy in the time they spent together.Ko: 하지만 갑자기 검은 구름이 모여들고, 비가 내리기 시작했습니다.En: However, suddenly black clouds gathered, and it started to rain.Ko: 민지는 길을 벗어나고 말았습니다.En: Minji strayed off the path.Ko: 현은 동생을 찾기 위해 조급해졌습니다.En: Hyun became anxious to find his sister.Ko: "민지야! 어디 있어?"En: "Minji! Where are you?"Ko: 비가 점점 더 거세졌고, 현은 동생을 찾는 데 온 신경을 기울였습니다.En: The rain grew more intense, and Hyun concentrated all his energy on finding her.Ko: 다행히 은신처에서 민지를 찾았습니다.En: Fortunately, he found Minji in a shelter.Ko: 그녀는 겁에 질려 있었지만, 다치지 않았습니다.En: She was frightened but unharmed.Ko: 현은 안도의 한숨을 쉬며 동생에게 물었습니다. "괜찮아? 많이 놀랐지?"En: Hyun sighed with relief and asked his sister, "Are you alright? Were you very scared?"Ko: 민지는 고개를 끄덕이며 "형, 난 형이 필요해. 같이 다녀줘서 고마워."라고 말했습니다.En: Minji nodded and said, "Brother, I need you. Thank you for being with me."Ko: 그날 밤 캠프장으로 돌아와 두 사람은 모닥불 앞에 앉아 이야기를 나눴습니다.En: That night, back at the campsite, the two sat in front of the campfire and shared stories.Ko: 현은 깨달았습니다.En: Hyun realized something.Ko: 동생과의 시간도 의미가 있음을, 그리고 동생을 돌보는 일은 그리 나쁘지 않음을.En: That the time spent with his sister is meaningful, and taking care of her isn't so bad.Ko: 자신의 시간을 지키면서도 민지를 챙길 수 있다는 자신감을 얻었습니다.En: He gained the confidence that he could look after Minji while also maintaining his own time.Ko: 봄비가 그치고, 밤하늘에 별이 빛났습니다.En: The spring rain stopped, and stars shone in the night sky.Ko: 형제는 함께 이야기를 나누며 모닥불가의 시간과 감정의 교류를 즐겼습니다.En: The siblings enjoyed sharing stories and emotions by the campfire.Ko: 현은 자신의 미래에 대해 고민하면서도 민지를 보며 웃었습니다.En: Despite his worries about the future, Hyun smiled as he looked at Minji.Ko: 그 순간, 형제는 서로의 존재가 얼마나 중요한지를 새롭게 느꼈습니다.En: In that moment, they newly understood how important each other's presence was.

Here, even a moment's mistake can't be allowed." Jisoo replied with a smile.Ko: 지수의 눈은 그가 나눠준 카드를 유심히 살폈다.En: Jisoo's eyes carefully observed the cards she dealt.Ko: 그녀는 뛰어난 손재주로 사람들의 반응을 읽을 수 있었지만 자신의 열망을 억누르고 있었다.En: She could read people's reactions with her excellent dexterity, but she suppressed her own aspirations.Ko: 그녀도 한 번쯤은 게임을 하고 싶었다.En: She also wanted to play the game at least once.Ko: "저도 언젠가 여기 앉아서 플레이해보고 싶어요," 지수는 속으로 생각했다.En: “I also want to sit here and play someday,” Jisoo thought to herself.Ko: 하지만 그녀의 마음속에는 규칙과 직업의 경계가 엇갈렸다.En: Yet, her mind was caught between the boundaries of rules and profession.Ko: 그러나 그녀는 결심했다.En: However, she made a decision.Ko: 하루 쉬는 날, 그녀는 다른 작은 게임에 가명으로 참가하기로 했다.En: On her day off, she would participate in a small game under a pseudonym.Ko: 그 날이 다가왔다.En: That day arrived.Ko: 지수는 변장을 하고 일산에 있는 작은 카지노에 갔다.En: Jisoo disguised herself and went to a small casino in Ilsan.Ko: 그녀의 가명은 "수빈"이었다.En: Her pseudonym was "Subin."Ko: 다른 플레이어들과의 게임은 시작되었고, 그녀는 빠르게 주목을 끌었다.En: The game with other players began, and she quickly attracted attention.Ko: 그 때, 직장 상사가 그곳에 있다는 것을 알게 되었다.En: Then she realized that her boss was there.Ko: 심장이 멈출 것 같았지만 지수는 끝까지 게임에 집중했다.En: Her heart felt like it would stop, but Jisoo focused on the game until the end.Ko: 그녀의 플레이는 완벽했고, 많은 사람들을 놀라게 했다.En: Her play was perfect, surprising many.Ko: 게임이 끝난 후, 상사는 그녀에게 다가왔다.En: After the game ended, her boss approached her.Ko: "지수, 왜 여기 있는 거죠? 하지만 당신의 실력은 대단하군요."En: “Jisoo, why are you here? But your skills are astounding.”Ko: 지수는 놀라며 복잡한 감정을 느꼈지만, 상사의 반응은 그녀를 안심시켰다.En: Jisoo felt a mix of emotions, but her boss's response reassured her.Ko: "지수, 당신의 능력을 키우는 게 좋겠네요.En: “Jisoo, you should cultivate your talent.Ko: 합법적으로 경기에 참가할 수 있도록 도움을 줄게요."En: I'll help you legally participate in competitions.”Ko: 그 말에 지수는 희망을 찾았다.En: At those words, Jisoo found hope.Ko: 딜러로서의 하루하루가 이제 새로운 시각으로 다가왔다.En: Each day as a dealer now came with a new perspective.Ko: 그녀는 결코 눈에 띄지 않으려 했지만, 그 헤치운 두려움이 다음 단계를 위한 첫 걸음을 보여줬다.En: Although she never intended to stand out, overcoming her fears showed her the first step towards the next stage.Ko: 그날 이후로 지수는 자신감을 얻게 되었고, 점차 딜러에서 플레이어로의 전환을 위한 길을 찾게 되었다.En: From that day on, Jisoo gained confidence and gradually found her way towards transitioning from being a dealer to a player.Ko: 그녀의 꿈은 이제 더 이상 막연한 상상이 아니었다.En: Her dream was no longer a vague imagination.Ko: 현실의 가능성이었다.En: It was a potential reality.

From the end of October to the start of December 2001, an unspecified two-roomed second-floor flat on Eagle Street in Holborn was a warm and welcoming guesthouse rented out to two Korean students exploring London. As strangers in a notoriously dangerous city, they did everything right to ensure their safety, as London isn't for the faint hearted. And although they stayed within confines of their tight-knit community, their sadistic killer was hiding in plain sight.Location #1: unknown number, ‘Beckley' 47-51 Eagle Street, Holborn, London, WC2Location #2: unknown number, Lansbury Estate, Augusta Street, Poplar, London, E14Date: 8th or 9th of December 1913 and 27th October 2001Victims: Hyun-Han Jin and In-Hea SongCulprit: Kye Soo KimFive time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Nationalism today depends on the perception of victimhood. The historical memory of past suffering endows nationalist movements with political legitimacy and a sense of moral superiority. Koreans recall Japanese colonial atrocities, while Japan commemorates the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Israel sanctifies the Holocaust and Poland trumpets the Nazi and Soviet occupations. Even Germany and Russia, perpetrators of historical crimes, today cast themselves as victims by pointing to national suffering. In this theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich book, Jie-Hyun Lim offers a new way to understand nationalism and its political instrumentalization of suffering, developing the concept of “victimhood nationalism” and exploring it in a range of global settings. Victimhood Nationalism: History and Memory in a Global Age (Columbia UP, 2025) examines relations among Poland, Germany, Israel, Korea, and Japan, focusing on how memories of colonialism, the Holocaust, and Stalinist terror have converged and intertwined in transnational spaces. With an emphasis on memory formation, Lim scrutinizes how perpetrators in Germany and Japan transformed themselves into victims, as well as how nationalists in Poland, Korea, and Israel portray themselves as hereditary victims in order to rebut external criticism. He considers the construction of nations as victims and perpetrators, tracing the interaction of history and memory. Ultimately, the book contends, challenging victimhood nationalism is necessary to overcome the endless competition over national suffering and instead promote reconciliation, mutual understanding, and transnational solidarity. Dr. Jie-Hyun Lim is the CIPSH Chairholder of Global Easts, Distinguished Professor, and founding director of the Critical Global Studies Institute at Sogang University. In 2025–2026, he is the Class of 1955 Visiting Professor in Global Studies at Williams College. His many books include Global Easts: Remembering, Imagining, Mobilizing (Columbia, 2022).
