Parenting, Family, and Intergenerational Ministry
represent three major perspectives. First, parenting is the actual task of raising children. Second, there is the family as a foundational social unit that God has designed. The theological foundations of the family must be explored. And finally, there is important concept of an intergenerational ministry where all generations are called to be spiritually connected. This is God's will in the home and it spills over into the church. And so, this three major perspectives will form the structure of the content below.

Tae is one of the most effective Asian-American communicators that I know.  His mind gives him the ability to take ambiguous issues and break them down to simple straightforward concepts.  He then is able to communicate those concepts in a way that is intellectually satisfying, intensely practical and surprisingly memorable.  Tae has spoken for our church on a number of different occasions and the response of our people has consistently been, “We want more.”  In issues such as family issues or the psychology of sin, Tae would be my top recommendation. Pastor Steve Chang, Rowland Heights, CA

I'm thankful for Pastor Tae's ministry. I'm especially blessed by his efforts to bring the principles of biblical living to a broader audience through T2i's ministries. Individuals and families are being strengthened in their faith, to the glory of God, through T2i's training, pastoral family support, and Divine Designs seminars.
Dr. Laura Hendrickson
Biblical Counselor, author of "Will Medicine Stop the Pain?"
and co-author of "When Good Kids Make Bad Choices"

I believe Tae Shin’s ministry is indispensable to any Christian leader desiring to build biblically healthy families.
Pastor Rick Kim, Tustin, CA
