Asian American Parenting

In this final episode of the mini-series on what Scripture teaches about Asian American parenting, Danny and Monica look at Psalm 127:3 in relation to the Confucian upbringing that many Asian American parents were brought up within. They contrast this with Psalm 127:3, as well as the idea of parents being ambassadors of God to their children. They close with an exhortation on how repentance is part of the parenting process and sanctification journey in parenting.

In this episode, Danny sits down with Professor and Pastor James Lee to discuss the topic of the spiritual formation of Asian American parents, which plays a critical role in parenting our teenagers. Their conversation encourages parents to consider their spiritual lives to become more fruitful believers in the Lord—for their own sakes as well as for the good of their teenagers.  

James Lee (MA, Talbot) is a Professor at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University and also serves as a pastor in the local church. He is passionate about bridging the church and the academy by helping believers develop a biblical worldview that encourages flourishing in the faith. His interests in practical, systematic, and philosophical theology led him to research a theology of the emotions and its integration with sanctification as part of his doctoral work.
