This was a bittersweet episode to record... But we wanted to bring you into our real, raw, still-in-progress process "behind the curtain" on why we're taking a break, when we're planning to be back, as well as what we're excited about next and share with y'all in the meantime!

We love y'all and are so, so grateful for all your support in this journey so far... and God is a good shepherd and we're excited to see how he continues to lead each of us into even greater things, lessons, and glory ahead :)

We'd so appreciate if you could keep us in prayer as we continue to seek him for his leading in everything - specifically how he wants us to be obedient in his specific assignments for us to make disciples, advance his Kingdom, and glorify him!

P.S. ALSO, we forgot to mention this but the timing of it all ended up being perfect (God is clutch!), because we're joining with our church to do a 40-Day Digital Fast, starting today! Decluttering our minds, hearts, souls to hear more from God, be more present, and live more outside our screens. (You're welcome to join us in doing this, too, if you want!)

We won't be on social media from now until mid-July - so if you need to contact us, email us at graceandalex@withthetrans.com. Love y'all! ✌️

It's not every day you see two grown Asian American men unpack their generational trauma.

Today, we're joined by John Chen, Founder & President at ABOUND Education and Life Coach, as he and Alex dive deep into a raw, vulnerable, and insightful conversation (and a mini impromptu LIVE coaching session) about their experiences, struggles, and lessons learned as Asian American sons of immigrant parents.

Join us as we unpack:

• John's powerful testimony of how God spoke to him about leaving his stable career in finance to start a college counseling business
• What has helped in healing generational trauma & breaking cycles of family pain
• The reality of navigating unresolved tensions with parents
• Discerning what season you're in & where God is leading you in your career (& life)
• How we can break down the barriers that block us from God's love
• The unique pressures & challenges faced by children of immigrant parents
• Insights on discerning God's wisdom & guidance in your personal & professional life
• And much more...

ABOUT OUR GUEST
John Chen is the President of ABOUND Education, offering a hope-affirming college admissions experience centered on fostering trust, resilience, and confidence for young adults finding their place in the world.

A product of Mission San Jose High School in Fremont, John is no stranger to hyper-competitive academic environments that leave both students and parents feeling stressed and lost. With the motivation to be the mentor he wish he had in high school, John focuses on wearing multiple hats with the families under his care, playing the role of encourager, expert advisor, counselor, and most of all, a big brother.

John’s been a college admissions coach since 2014, and is deeply passionate about helping students find themselves in a world that pushes and pulls them in various directions. Nothing makes him more excited than seeing young people transform into who they’re meant to be—in high school and beyond.

John is also passionate about mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and helping people break free from the cycles of generational traumas and pains.
