In this special episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins is joined by Rev. Danielle Kim, Rev. John Han, Rev. Levy Laguardia and Rev. Faiana Funaki to reflect on the third annual Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Celebration worship service. Hosted at Axe Memorial United Methodist Church, this vibrant gathering uplifted the diverse cultures, stories and faith expressions of AAPI members across the Horizon Texas Conference. Together, they share powerful reflections on identity, the importance of passing on cultural heritage to future generations and the beauty of worshiping God through unique cultural gifts. From the inspiring words of Bishop Ruben Saenz Jr. to the leadership of youth and the joy of community, this conversation honors the resilience and pride of AAPI communities in the United Methodist Church. Disclaimer: We experienced some technical difficulties during the recording and unfortunately lost part of our interview with Rev. Levy Laguardia and Rev. Faiana Funaki. We’re grateful for their insights and leadership, and we appreciate your understanding.
