Just this week, video of a UFO taken by a passenger on a plane coming in for a landing at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York, made international news. Video footage of UFOs constantly appears online and more often than not leads to a dead end for researchers trying to identify witnesses or turns out to be faked. In this case, not only was the witness identified, but she appeared on News Nation for an interview, along with a researcher looking into the case who considered the video to be authentic.The witness is Michelle Reyes, who was capturing video of the New York skyline while sitting next to her daughter, who had the window seat. The Verrazano Bridge is centered in the frame as a black, elongated, oval-shaped UFO goes whizzing by from right to left, which in this case is northeast to southwest. Reyes posted the video on Facebook, and researcher/investigator Ben Hansen (who was a guest on PodcastUFO on February 16, 2021) managed to find her and interview her. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

"God will never abandon you in your time of grief. When you feel completely alone in this world, turn to God's Word for comfort.  When the tears won't stop, turn to God to dry your tears.  When you feel like you've utterly hit rock bottom, turn to God for hope.  He's there with you, in the fallow season, whispering in your ear, “I've got you. You're going to be OK.”  This might not feel like encouragement right now, but someday you'll look back on what you're going through and see how God sustained you."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=237865--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: The Heart of Easter – a new keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

"There is a beautiful relentlessness in the way Jesus pursued people. I truly believe pastor's wives are in need of a similar kind of relentlessness. Rather than assuming that your pastor's wife has enough friends, doesn't need encouragement, or is too busy to meet, just ask. Show up. Love on her. Bring her food or a bouquet of flowers, like you would any other friend. Be a shoulder to cry on, or someone to offer a safe listening ear."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=232036--You can now order Create in Me a Heart of Mercy, the next Bible study from (in)courage!

When Jay Kim was four years old, he and his mother moved from Korea to the Silicon Valley. During his upbringing in this new environment, he struggled with feelings of confusion, isolation, and rootlessness that define many immigrant experiences. Despite these challenging seasons—or perhaps even through them—Jay eventually came to deeply internalize what it means to be seen, to be known, and to belong. The seed of faith planted in Jay's heart grew into a full-blown passion for ministry, which he now shares through his work as the lead pastor at WestGate Church. The perspectives he has gained over the years have led him to publish two books with IVP, Analog Church and Analog Christian, which explore the ways that the digital age affects the life of the church and Christian discipleship. Both books have received awards from The Gospel Coalition.In this episode, we highlight the following themes:How Jay's ethnic identity journey influences the way he sees the worldJay's faith story from childhood to young adulthood, and his eventual calling to ministryThe experience of writing and then releasing Analog Church at the start of the COVID-19 pandemicLinks from this episode:Learn more about Jay Kim: jaykimthinks.comStart your learning with streaming video courses from Seminary NowAbout the Guest:Jay Y.

"Our stories are a testimony to who God is and how He's working in the world. Throughout my life, I've found that most people have been told in one way or another at some point that their voice and story were insignificant.

In 2005, Skip McDonald's book, And She Lived Happily Ever After, offered women a refreshing perspective on singleness. Unlike many books on the topic from that time, it didn't provide tips for finding a husband or offer advice on whether or not to kiss dating goodbye—instead, it empowered single women to live vibrant lives of grace and fulfillment right then and there. Then in 2020, Skip's Anxiety LifeGuide Bible Study released at the beginning of a turbulent global pandemic, and to this day, it continues to minister to readers in their mental wellness journeys. In this third and final bonus episode celebrating IVP's 75th anniversary, Skip opens up about her formative upbringing during the civil rights movement, her passions for writing and mental health, and the road that led her to pen these two important titles at timely points in the life of the Church.About the Guest:Skip McDonald is a regional resource specialist with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, sourcing mental health, spiritual formation, manuscript Bible studies, and Nurses Christian Fellowship.

God designed life to be full of joy. Many of us feel burnt out these days. We're tired and weary of each other and even the church, at large, at times.   What is the way forward?  Yes, we need the fellowship of Sunday morning services. Yes, we need to be taught and nourished by God's Word through sermons and Bible studies. But what if the path forward for healing and deeper bonds also included a commitment to playing together more? Listen to Michelle Reyes about the remedy of play and laughter, and leave a comment for her: https://incourage.me/?p=225159--The summer issue of Everyday Faith, DaySpring's quarterly magazine, is now on newsstands!

In this important episode, Cameron and Anna talk with Michelle Reyes about the excellent new book she coauthored with Helen Lee: The Race-Wise Family: Ten Postures to Becoming Households of Healing Hope. The authors write: "When we are talking about an area as complex and challenging as race, our underlying inclinations combined with our uncertainties and hesitations often result in inertia, ignorance, and apathy, even for the most well-intentioned Christians" (123). Reyes discusses how being race-wise stems from a right fear of the Lord. She also shares the particular fears of Black and Brown- skinned parents, and why they chose the word "postures" for the practices they advocate in the book. Michelle challenges us to see the vision Scripture casts for us: "... behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" (Rev. 7:9), a vision where race and ethnicity are not erased but united in worship of our common, diversity-loving Creator. She encourages us that posturing our families to move toward that heavenly vision is what we mean when we pray "your kingdom come, your will be done," and this is the very heart of God for all his people.Show Notes:Fear Factor: When Our Asian American Children Face Racism with Owen Lee, Tracy Yi and Kevin YiThanos to Theos Episode 25: Eternally Conflicted The Jesus I Wish I Knew In High SchoolRooted Recommends: Becoming All ThingsLearning Together: An Asian American Perspective On Racial Justice and ReconciliationPrayers for Our Asian American FriendsBlack History Month Resources from Dorena WilliamsonTop Ten for Youth Workers and Parents: Racial Justice Resources

Have you seen the new Pixar movie, Turning Red? Even if you haven't watched it yet, I'm guessing you may have heard about it—and some of what you heard might not have been good. Spoiler alert: I disagree with the criticism being thrown at this movie, and we are here to talk about the giant panda in the room today.   First, the basics – Turning Red is an animated kids movie about a 13-year-old girl living in Toronto. Mei-Lin is Chinese-Canadian, and like pretty much every 13-year-old ever, she's also going through some changes. After a particularly difficult interaction with her mom, she turns into a giant red panda. Before this movie was even released last week, I was reading criticism and that did not stop after the public could flip on Disney+ and watch for themselves.   I invited my friends Michelle Reyes and Tasha Jun to talk with me about Turning Red, and I hope you'll join us on the couch for a conversation full of, yes, pushback and opinions but also really good insight from my friends who are moms, Christians, and Asian Americans.   If you've been waiting for things to get spicy here on The Couch, today is your day. Let's jump right in.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:   “Turning Red” is a turning point for Asians in film. Why is it seen as unrelatable?

Raised by strangers in Chicago's Cabrini-Green neighborhood, MelindaJoy Mingo's life journey began with unthinkable challenges that continued into adulthood as she later lost several close family members—including her husband—and eventually found herself living out of her car in a Walmart parking lot. But along the way, she encountered selfless love in unexpected places that led her to realize her pain had a purpose attached to it—to bridge cultural divides and help people to see one another through the eyes of Jesus. Ultimately, this led to her writing The Colors of Culture, birthed from her own lived experiences that gave her the empathy to see and value those on the margins. Join our conversation with MelindaJoy as she shares about the ways her story has led her and others to share in the beauty of diverse relationships.About the Guest:MelindaJoy Mingo is an ordained minister, professor, cultural capacity expert, and entrepreneur based in Colorado Springs.

Lamar Hardwick experienced a revelation at age 36 when he was first diagnosed with autism. That watershed moment opened so many doors for him to understand how he related to and communicated with other people and led to his being able to use his writing to raise awareness for the disability community, the largest minority community group in the world. Yet it continues to also be a marginalized group in the church. In this prophetic and frank conversation, Lamar shares amazing insights into the church's own self-identity that mirrors his own journey of being unaware of his own disability, and he offers profound ways for the body of Christ to better understand itself and the needs of people with disabilities. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation.About the Guest:Lamar Hardwick, also known as "the autism pastor," is the lead pastor at Tri-Cities Church in East Point, Georgia. He is the author of Epic Church and the best-selling I Am Strong: The Life and Journey of an Autistic Pastor.In 2014, after years of silently struggling with social anxiety and sensory processing disorder, and a host of other significant issues, Hardwick was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of thirty-six. He now provides workshops, seminars, and consults with local churches and faith-based organizations on creating environments for people with autism. He also provides mentoring services for teens and young adults on the autism spectrum. His writing has been published by various autism and disability websites such as The Mighty, The Huffington Post, Key Ministry, and The Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

Today, we are going to talk more about unpacking the gift of Emmanuel, God with us, with one of my absolute favorite people, Dorena Williamson. Exactly one hundred episodes ago, Dorena became a part of the simply stories life. She's a children's book author, a writer, a pastor's wife and incredible preacher herself whose passion for God's people and pursuing Biblically diverse unity in the body of Christ has impacted so many people, including myself, and my family. Her books provide verbiage for examining the language we use about our fellow image bearers and modeling those things to our children so that we can better love and serve like Jesus. We talk about what that looks like in this season, the incredible sacrifice of Christ's coming at Christmas, and so much more. Looking back on what all you'll get to hear in this episode, I just am personally remembering these few takeaways from this conversation: -The call to portray a gospel-centered view of others when we give and serve others around the holidays. That we don't place ourselves higher than others, we just learn how to see and engage felt needs in the communities where we live, and love and serve them like a true neighbor. One major way we can do this is by carefully choosing our words and offering a perspective for our children that shows care for others; those that we are serving are or who we may see that are struggling are also part of the body of Christ. -Pressing into uncomfortable conversations with the children in our lives about what they are inevitably going to encounter or have already encountered with a Gospel centered perspective. Dorena reminds us so beautifully “we are the people of God, we can do this,” And whether its about how we treat others, skin color, sex, friends who have different abilities or a whole long list of other things happening in life, if we don't engage with our children about these things, something or someone will. The Lord will equip us, and He will meet us in it.  -We break down a good bit of the conversation with Jesus around the story of the Good Samaritan and the heart behind the question “who is my neighbor?” I'm still processing who are my neighbors because the Lord has put them in my path, not because they're the most comfortable people I feel prepared to connect with, but because the Lord saw fit to place them and me for such a time as this. Will I say yes? This is such a rich conversation, and I cannot wait for you to hear it. I hope and pray that wherever you are, you find new ways to experience Emmanuel, God with us. I pray that we all choose to press into His presence, and choose to grow because of the light He shines in the dark. God's not finished with any of us. You matter, friend. And your story matters.

On our journey of becoming an emotionally healthy adult, we often begin to recognize the way we've engaged relationally and culturally with others hasn't been from a place of health! Today we share an amazing conversation we had with Michelle Reyes, author of "Becoming All Things: How Small Changes Lead to Lasting Connections Across Cultures". We explore why we NEED cross-cultural relationships, how to have better conversations with people, when to walk away, knowing our own cultural story, offering people alternatives to racist rhetoric and getting to the heart of what people feel so we can have meaningful conversations. Her insights were SO helpful and her voice SO necessary! She offers such a refreshing way of engaging with people that are different from us, in a way that is deeply honoring and connecting.  Michelle Ami Reyes, PhD, is the Vice President of the AACC and Co-Executive Director of Pax.

Today I am sitting down with the incredible Kat Armas. Kat is a Cuban-American author and podcaster who is passionate about elevating the voices of women of color, asking big questions and wrestling with American culture to have a more clear view of God and how He makes Himself known through people and their experiences. She invites readers into the wrestle of our ideas about wisdom, or ideas we have developed about what makes someone a “theologian,” and perhaps how we limit who is influential in our faith development in beautiful book Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence and Strength. After being raised in Miami, Florida, surrounded by Cuban culture, and then moving to predominantly white evangelical world in seminary, Kat struggled to find her footing as a woman in male-dominated space, and as a woman of color, raised by women, and called by God to use her gifts for His glory. We'll talk about things like: What do you do when your life doesn't pan out into what may be described as a typical “American” family or faith? How do you really wrestle with the Christianity that has been passed down to you when that's its history? We'll define some buzzword terms and try to take the sting out of them that can keep us from actually having productive conversations about them  like patriarchal vs. matriarchal society, a colonized Jesus vs. Jesus in the context of the Bible. Decolonizing, Deconstruction, etc. We're going deep, friends. This is an opportunity for you to sit at a table where you may not be the most comfortable, but where there is such beauty to behold, things to learn about a culture unique from your own, and a fuller picture of how God makes Himself known in other communities in the world, and how He may have something to share specifically with you about who YOU were uniquely made to be in our homes, in our faith families and the body of Christ as a whole.  Reading Kat's book, and spending time with her has really stretched me. One thing that encourages me so much is that God is there in the midst of our complicated and messy stories of being a human. Jesus meets ALL of us exactly where we are, Living in the middle place, where so much of what we have known and seen, where we're from, and being willing to process a more robust view of God, and seeing Him through the eyes of our friends and neighbors in scripture has just made God all the more powerful, merciful and beautiful to me. It makes the call to go and share the Gospel with ALL nations so much more powerful and dare I say possible? When we are willing to learn about what life may look like for various nations, tribes, tongues and cultures unique from mine, then there is compassion to come together as we are, where we are, and there we can talk about Jesus. There, we can see how much all our stories matter. Your story matters, friend. You matter.

What happened that day through his comments is still hurtful on so many levels to me personally and so many women that I know and love in this ministry life, and had truly astounding ripple effects I am still feeling in my own life and faith community. I left it as part of the conversation with Kat because I think it's important to hear the hurts of people, but I also don't mean to leave it in there to act as a “cancelling” of someone who I do believe is passionate about God's Word, he's just also human, and God is God in his life, and is still bringing the work in him to completion. Additionally, I don't know who Kat's hermeneutics professor was that said what he said to her, but I pray the Lord meets him and shows him the gift that the daughters of Eve offer to the Kingdom of God no matter where God leads them and regardless of their marital status.

If you had asked Chloe Sun as a girl in Hong Kong what she expected her life would be like when she grew up, she probably would not have imagined that she would end up in the US for college, become a Christian, and then serve as the catalyst for her whole family embracing the gospel. She also could not have imagined that she would fall in love with Hebrew and the Old Testament, leading to her becoming a biblical scholar and a seminary dean, with a call to train the next generation of Chinese church leaders in North America. But despite her academic credentials with a PhD from Fuller Seminary and her status as one of the few Asian female scholars in her discipline, Chloe still considers herself as someone who operates in the margins of a dominant culture in which she often feels invisible and and hidden.Chloe's life mirrors that of the topic she tackles in her unique and compelling book Conspicuous in His Absence: Studies in the Song of Songs and Esther. In this book, Chloe examines a combination of biblical texts that are rarely studied together but which share a common characteristic: God is absent in both. As she illuminates what we can learn about God through his absence, Chloe also makes it clear through her work and her words that those on the margins have much to say and offer even though they are often absent from the center of the church and the academy. If you don't know Chloe's work, take this opportunity to get to know a thoughtful, brilliant scholar and writer with much to offer through her life and her writing.Resources mentioned in this episode:Write Better by Andrew T.

Dorena Williamson's journey to becoming a writer was an unexpected one and began when she as a mom noticed a dearth of literature that offered the representation for her Black children. And if she did find books that featured characters of color, the faith element was missing. So she began praying, "God, how can you use me to have an impact in this area of addressing race and colorblindness?" The answer to this prayer was that Dorena became a children's author, starting with her 2018 book ColorFull: Celebrating the Colors God Gave Us. She is now one of the featured authors in the inaugural year of IVP Kids with her newest book The Celebration Place   which offers a captivating vision of the church as God intended. You will love hearing from this delightful, faithful writer who has had to push against everything from imposter syndrome to apathy about racial issues in the industry, and in so doing has created books that both children and adults can treasure.

Today I am chatting with speaker and author Michelle Reyes. Michelle's ministry lives at the intersection of faith, culture, and justice. She is the Vice President and co-founder of the Asian-American Christian Collaborative, and she and her husband, Aaron, planted a church in East Austin, TX where she serves as the scholar in residence. Michelle and Aaron lead their church body to serve the vulnerable in their community  as the hands and feet of Jesus and share the hope of Christ wherever they go. Her book Becoming All Things: How Small Changes Lead to Lasting Connections Across Cultures is an incredible deep dive into the role of diversity in the Bible and how it was celebrated in the early church.  During our conversation today, Michelle unpacks for us what the 1st century Church looked like when Paul was addressing becoming all things to all people uniquely for who they are for the sake of the Gospel, but not to compromise the message of the Gospel, but to recognize and respect that no two people are the same no matter their ethnicity, cultural identity, and celebrate the unique design of each person made in the image of God. Michelle's voice is so valued in my life. She is always honest, always points to Jesus, and is always holding space for whoever has ears to hear to deep dive in scripture and to hear the stories in real life from other cultural perspectives. One thing she shares in this conversation that I think is so powerful is this: “Unity is not about conformity, unity is learning to make space for all of our differences and embrace them.” It's about removing divisions and hostilities between peoples, and that when we do that work, it's going to be uncomfortable because people are people, but “the pursuit of unity demands that we say ‘how much cultural discomfort am I willing to forbear for the sake of the Gospel?'” This is such an incredible conversation, friends. Come dive in deep with us! The Lord isn't finished with any of us, and He has so much more to show us when we celebrate the story He is telling in each unique representation of His creativity in creation. And that means you too. YOU matter, your neighbor matters, and your story matters.  Connecting with Michelle: Asian American Christian Collaborative (AACC) Book Book on Audible (which is how I read it! So good.)

On January 6, 2021, as insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. with a number of them waving flags declaring that "Jesus Saves!", it became clear that the fault lines in evangelical Christianity had become exposed for all to see, and that the Jesus being touted on these signs was a white, American, nationalistic version of the Messiah. Today's three guests, all on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and part of its Multiethnic Initiatives department, are all IVP authors with recent books that seek either directly or indirectly to challenge the idea of the "white American Jesus" that is reflected in the words and actions of Christian nationalists such as those participating in the events of January 6th: Jonathan Walton (Twelve Lies that Hold America Captive); Steve Tamayo (Ethnic Identity), and Chandra Crane (Mixed Blessing). Hosted by producer Helen Lee, the episode features personal and honest stories from the publishing journeys of these three authors of color, as well as the ways in which their books will be used to challenge and inspire the next generation of Christian leaders this summer--and how you can be a part of the journey even if you're not a student.  About the Guests: Jonathan P.

Many of us want to have diverse friends and are passionate about justice. Michelle Reyes joins Mornings with Eric and Brigitte on Wednesday and shares that if we are serious about cross-cultural relationships--real relationships that lead to understanding, healing and solidarity across cultural lines--we need to be willing to change. And that's not something that comes easy for any of us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The church is supposed to be made up of many tribes and nations. However, too often multicultural church spaces end up reinforcing the norms and spiritual practices of white majority culture over and against the spiritual practices of other groups. Things become even trickier when trying to balance multiple minority cultures in one church body. How can Christians think through these complex issues? Kyle talks with Dr. Michelle Reyes, a writer, activist, and pastor who has just written a book called "Becoming All Things: How Small Changes Lead to Lasting Connections Across Cultures" aimed at helping Christians develop cultural fluency and humility in cross-cultural interactions. Listen in now!
