Embracing Wholeness

Understanding the Complexities of Spiritual & Emotional Health

in the Context of Our Asian American Cultural Heritage

If you are a pastor’s wife or a woman in vocational or lay ministry, this one day retreat is for you! Come and be refreshed by Dr. Pak’s message as we unpack what is dormant and discover new insights in our journey toward growth, transformation, and maturity in Christ.

"God’s desire is for us to bring his life-giving principles into our everyday life.  Yet most of us experience disconnect between the spiritual life and “real” life.  One of the biggest obstacles to growth is our view of God.  Most of us grow up with unrealistic standards from our parents or culture, resulting in guilt and shame. We do not grow because of “willpower” or “self-effort.” Spiritual growth involves the whole person.  In order to be “thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17), we need personal growth, maturing, and the resolution of relational or emotional problems.  We need to connect with God and with other people to heal the split between the spiritual and everyday life and make authentic and heart-based changes in our lives" ...Jenny Pak, Ph.D.
