In this powerful episode of Kingdom Reformation, we discuss Mike Chong Perkinson's, book "Radically Living, Quietly Dying." With over four decades of ministry experience, Mike courageously shares his journey from behind-the-scenes struggles with suicide and depression while serving as a successful pastor, to finding authentic healing and purpose in Christ.

Drawing from his personal experiences as an Asian-American wrestling with identity and belonging, Mike introduces transformative concepts like the "Wizard of Oz Syndrome" and the "Gauntlet of Freedom." He offers profound insights into breaking free from performance-based Christianity and finding genuine wholeness. This conversation tackles difficult topics rarely discussed in church settings, including mental health, cultural identity, and the impact of father wounds.
