Liuan Huska Embodies What it Means to Be Hurting Yet Whole
Season 1, Episode 5 (36 minutes)
Episode Description
Liuan Huska was only in her twenties when she began experiencing pain, first in her ankle but then to her knee, her lower back, and throughout other areas in her body. It was the beginning of a years-long journey with a chronic illness that raised many questions for her about what it means to be human, and what faith looks like when daily pain is a part of one's discipleship journey. Writing became the means through which Liuan was able to discern answers and understand that her value in God's eyes came not from the things that she was able to do, but because her full being was made in God's image. Liuan also shares about the intersection between the struggles of the immigrant experience and the propensity Asian Americans have to deny or push past areas of pain, and how she came to learn healthier and new ways to respond. You will be touched by Liuan's thoughtful, vulnerable reflections in this honest and revealing conversation.
