Faith & Chai
In the Faith & Chai podcast, Caroline Lancaster and Kevin Wilson have real conversations at the intersection of faith and South Asian culture. They give voice to the experiences of many South Asian young adults and simultaneously highlight the diversity of the South Asian experience. You will laugh and possibly cry as they talk about everything from childhood experiences, their relationship with their parents, what it means to be South Asian and Christian, cultural expectations, and much more! Be inspired to take next steps in your personal faith and cultural identity journey. Make yourself a cup of chai, get some biscuits, and lets hang out!
