Steve Hong, Director of Kingdom Rice

Sineo and Alfluent, the dynamic duo, are joined by Steve Hong, director of Kingdom Rice on the show. 

Steve is a native San Franciscan, a former engineer, missionary, pastor, and guitar teacher who loves excavating stories of beauty from San Francisco and his cultural background as a way to share how God is breaking into these spaces. Steve believes, “God has given me friendships with influential leaders in music, art, theology, and a diversity of churches and faith communities across different faiths. "People in my hood know me for engaging people with my ukelele, recumbent bike, and worldview conversations over coffee.”

Ready to listen (or watch) as Alfluent, Sineo, and Steve discuss theology and spreading the word of God into communities.
