We are pleased to announce two new members to our SOLA Editorial Board. Tim St. John and Moses Y. Lee will be contributing articles and curating content for our website.
Tim St. John serves as the counseling pastor at Lighthouse Community Church in Torrance, CA. He’s a graduate of the Master’s Seminary (M.Div, Th.M) and completed counseling certificate training through ACBC and CCEF.
Tim’s passion is to see the grace of Gospel-centered counseling grow and thrive in local churches. He will contribute essays and articles about how the church can help and walk with those who are suffering or grieving.
Tim St. John has already contributed articles to SOLA that explain how we can help with those who are struggling. In “The Grace of Counseling,” he reminds us that although we may already be listening and empathizing with one another, we need to do it in and with the Gospel.
Tim also encourages us to help those in pain to “grow genuine hope” in “A Hope that Groans: Walking with Those Who are Suffering.” He writes that we should not only validate their struggles, but also point them to Christ.
Finally, Tim has written for us about how to have healthy Christ-centered relationships in “What a Drive-Thru Teaches Us About Relationships”. Along with fellow Editorial Board member Daniel K. Eng, Tim shared how we must take concrete and patient steps to communicate well, as well as remembering that we are a family that takes steps toward Christ together.
Moses Y. Lee is a church planting resident in the PCA and serves in the D.C. metro area. He’s a graduate of Westminster Theological Seminary (MDiv, ThM), where he wrote his thesis on North Korean cinema.
Through his work, Moses will be exhorting the church to look past comfortable topics and truly live out its calling to be light and salt. This will be categories as broad as race, Reformed theology, and ministering to college students.
Moses previously wrote for us with the essay, “Defining “Gospel-Centered:” How it Affects Justice,” in which he analyzed different definitions of “gospel-centered” and followed their implications in Reformed theology and how Christian should view justice.
For The Witness, Moses wrote “Asian Americans, MLK, and the Model Minority Myth,” in which he calls Asian Americans to join African Americans in their “their continual struggle for justice and equality, not just for African Americans but for all people in America.”
Moses also contributes to The Gospel Coalition. In “Discipling Gen Z College Students: 3 Challenges and 3 Opportunities,” he draws on his pastoral experience to teach others how to mentor and lead college students.
We at the SOLA Network are excited to see how these two new members will contribute to equipping and empowering the next generation.
The Editorial Board also includes: Daniel K. Eng, Hannah Chao, Thomas Hwang, Brett McCracken, P.J. Tibayan, and Kevin Yi.
Board members write, edit, and procure content for the website to empower Christians, and especially Asian American Christians. All of our board members believe that God has called them to work together in shaping the gospel voice for and of the emerging Asian American generation.
