Mental Health Workshop for Parents
Understanding and Finding Resolution of Intergenerational Conflicts
Dr. Mijin Park, Q&A with Dr. Esther Park
California 1 & 2
It is undeniable that there will be conflict between parents and children. And amongst immigrant families, there’s an added complexity to these intergenerational struggles. Those who are growing up in the US have difficulty being understood. First generation parents have challenges in connecting with their third-cultured children. Why does this persist even though we come from Christian backgrounds? Is it possible to improve, even repair, these relationships? How does our relationship with Christ help resolve this unique conflict?

Adulting 101: How to Work & Play for the Glory of God
Pastor Benjamin Nguyen
Vineyard 2
Audience: Young Adults
Adulting is hard—between career pressures, side hustles, and the pressure to always be "on," it’s easy to either burn out or check out. But what if your daily work (and even your leisure) had eternal purpose? Drawing from Scripture and the theology of vocation, this workshop explores how all work—from internships to laundry—is sacred when done for God’s glory. We’ll bust myths about "meaningful" jobs, rethink productivity, and discover how play and rest reflect God’s design. Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder or just trying to pay rent, learn how to live with purpose beyond the grind.
