Exploring Mental Health and Faith: A Conversation with J.S. Park
Description
Explore the intersection of faith and mental health with J.S. Park, a Korean-American hospital chaplain whose journey from atheism to chaplaincy is nothing short of remarkable. In this podcast, J.S. Park candidly shares his experiences and insights, drawing from his unique perspective as a thera-priest—a term he coined that perfectly encapsulates his role as an interfaith chaplain. With a background in both psychology and theology, J.S. Park seamlessly weaves together his Christian faith and mental health advocacy, a blend that shines through in his book, "The Voices We Carry." Join us as we delve into his work at a top-tier hospital and his past service with a leading East Coast charity for the homeless. Through his story, we navigate the challenging terrain of faith, mental wellness, and cultural perspectives, seeking to bridge the gap between these vital aspects of life.
