    Sitting down at a new restaurant often starts with browsing a menu of food items for you to order a la carte. The experience can be quite varied based on the number of items on the menu and how they’re presented. There are those on the high end, fine dining restaurants, with a fancy menu that…

Grateful to be invited to speak this week in a class in the Asian American Ministry track of the Doctor of…

And Easter is particularly meaningful to our little Chuang family (little because there’s only 3 of us) and one of the ways…

    There’s lots of leadership development resources in recent years, all over in the marketplace, bookstores, nonprofits, and churches too. I think this is part of what it means to be working more productively in today’s fast-changing times and mobilizing people towards a common vision organizationally.
