Ep. 79 / From Hindu Heritage to Christ's Call to NextGen with Amit Khaira

An unexpected hug in an Asian grocery store becomes the spark for a family’s spiritual transformation. In this episode we sit down with Amit Khaira, the South-Pacific Regional Director for NXT Move Ministries. Amit grew up in Perth, Australia in a devout Hindu household, but all that changed when a Korean stranger shared the love of Jesus with his mother, and the entire family encountered faith in a fresh new way. Amit shares honestly about the complicated parts of faith: the shame and rejection his mother faced when she told relatives she now followed Jesus, to the painful reality that church communities can wound the very people they’re meant to shelter. Amit reflects on humility, repentance, and what it means to keep running after Christ when you’re disappointed by Christians, especially as an immigrant navigating predominantly white spaces. Then the conversation turns toward vocation and resilience. From a cancer diagnosis that challenged surface-level expressions of spirituality, to experiences in school chaplaincy, youth ministry, and social entrepreneurship that keep Amit focused on one aim: bring gospel hope to young people who feel unseen and unheard.  If you'd like to learn more about Amit Khaira and NXT Move you can go to their website and follow them on Facebook.
