Jean Park knows that feeling well, and her story shows how God takes the very places we strive and turns them into a story of meaning and purpose.Growing up in Los Angeles as the daughter of Korean immigrants, Jean was taught that hard work and stability were the keys to success. She checked every box, reached every goal, and still felt something was missing. Then, when she encountered Christ, everything changed.This heartfelt conversation explores what it looks like to gain perspective on your purpose, let your story speak to your calling, and discern when to persevere or pivot. Jean opens up about her own healing journey, the beauty of addressing invisible wounds, the unexpected gift of being triggered, and how generosity can become a powerful pathway to healing.🎧 Listen to “Breaking Generational Patterns to Find Integrated Purpose in Christ” on The Finish Line Podcast, available now on your favorite podcast platforms. http://www.finishlinepledge.com/episode163 Link in bio!#FaithInAction #FinishLinePodcast #JeanPark #AbideGathering #ChristianLeadership #Purpose #Healing #FaithJourney #Wholeness #Generosity #Stewardship #ChristianPodcast #Inspiration #Transformation #PersonalGrowth
🎙️ New episode drop! We’re excited to share 🎙️ New episode drop! We’re excited to share the latest conversation on The Finish Line Podcast featuring Jean Park, therapist, coach, and co-founder of The Abide Gathering.✨ Growing up in Los Angeles as the daughter of Korean immigrants, Jean learned early what success was supposed to look like: achievement, hard work, and stability. She chased every goal her family celebrated, only to realize that reaching them left her empty. Then, in an encounter that changed everything, Christ met her and began to rewrite her story.After leaving behind a promising corporate career, Jean stepped into the world of psychology and discovered a new kind of purpose. She began to see how God could take her gifts, her story, and her faith and weave them together into a calling marked by grace, healing, and generosity.Today, Jean helps others, especially within Asian communities, break free from generational patterns of striving and performance to find freedom and purpose in Christ. Through her work as a therapist and coach, she guides people toward the kind of inner healing that opens the heart to live and give generously, not from pressure but from genuine joy, lasting peace, and renewed sense of stewardship.This episode is a heartfelt invitation to slow down, listen for God's gentle redirection, and discover how living from wholeness can transform not only how we give but also how we live!Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts! http://www.finishlinepledge.com/episode163 Link in bio!#FaithInAction #FinishLinePodcast #JeanPark #AbideGathering #ChristianLeadership #Purpose #Healing #FaithJourney #Wholeness #Generosity #Stewardship #Podcast #ChristianPodcast #Inspiration #PersonalGrowth
