Cultivating a Culture of Care: Pastoral Practices for Counseling in the local Asian American Church | Enoch Liao

2024 Mental Health Conference – Intergenerational Wholeness for Asian Americans: Integrative Approaches to Christian Spiritual and Mental Health Formation

This workshop is from the 2024 Mental Health Conference "Intergenerational Wholeness for Asian Americans: Integrative Approaches to Christian Spiritual and Mental Health Formation." Cultivating a Culture of Care: Pastoral Practices for Counseling in the local Asian American Church by Enoch Liao, recorded on January 13, 2024. Find out more about the conference here: ⁠https://caac.ptsem.edu/events/2024-mental-health-conference.

Abstract: As servant leaders in a local Christian church, we already encounter a range of challenges and opportunities when it comes to a ministry of counseling. In many Asian churches in America, we not only have the typical challenges that most American churches face, but also have challenges presented by the compounding factors of multiple cultures, languages, and generations. In this workshop, a local church pastor in a Chinese heritage church shares some of the struggles he has observed in both his church and other churches. Come to hear stories and learn practices for pursuing intergenerational wholeness through cultivating a culture of biblical care and counseling in the local church.
