2.6 Relationships: Co-Ed Friendships

Roy Kim and Wilson Wang are joined by Hiroko Hsieh, continuing their series revolving around the topic of Relationships. In this episode, we talk about co-ed friendships from a straight perspective. This conversation was motivated by the controversy of Pastor Matt Chandler stepping down because of his communication with a female friend.   Some of our talking points: What do co-ed friendships provide that same gender friendships do not? What kinds of co-ed friendships are healthy when married, and what kinds are not? Are there unique rules for pastors and co-ed relationships because of the power and trust dynamic? Wilson and Hiroko's story of rich co-ed friendship Roy's story of betrayal due to co-ed friendship Co-ed friendship and sexual addiction   As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.     Drop us a line: [email protected]       Produced by Clayton Yip [@yipster_hipster] Logo by Hyeyoon Chong [@hye.img] Music by Nathan Baldwin     Hiroko Hsieh's website: www.restingsheep.com     Wilson Wang is lead pastor of Renew Church OC (www.renewchurchoc.com) and author of the "Called to Be" series and "The Adulting Journal" (www.calledtobeproject.com).
