The path I walk is not an unbeaten path. Many have walked it before me. This has made my walk easier as others have cleared the path and set a direction. And it is especially nice to have people come along side to share their time, skills, and counsel. Some of these special people have been gracious enough to write a kind word to help validate some of my footsteps.

Pastor Tae Shin opens the Scriptures in a unique and exciting way that not only touches on the familiar but parts the surface in a manner that reveals God’s Word to a new depth, allowing an understanding of the Scriptures beyond the printed page itself, leading one to delve deeply into the very essence of God’s Word. He leads the congregation on a path that would be difficult and highly improbable to find alone. His manner of presenting the Scriptures through his sermons unlocks the riches of God’s sovereignty and reveals His glory. Elder John Beauman, Brea City Council, Brea, CA.

As I read what is written on the reference page by those who have worked with Pastor Tae in the past 20 years, I was drawn back to the time when my family was privileged to have him in our home for a year of his life more than 25 years ago. I am gratified to know that the young man with burning questions and a heart that cried out to be real and to be used by God has been blessed to see both those high ideals come to fruition. As I listen to his teachings on the audio webpage, and read the writings of a man far wiser than I, my eyes well up from the overflow of a full heart and I am compelled to say: "Well done." Pastor Steve and Christi Nute, Hampden, ME, Sons of God MC, retired, motorcycle ministry

It is a blessing to recommend Pastor Tae as a speaker and teacher.  Over the years, I have worked with Pastor Tae I have come to admire his solid understanding of God’s word, his heart to disciple people and his passion to strength the body of Christ.  Whether he is teaching a large group or one on one, he is interesting and speaks the truth in love.  I have gained insight and encouragement personally which has benefited me in my ministry.

Pastor Tae was very instrumental in the spiritual growth of our men’s ministry group and our church.  His ability to communicate biblical teachings in clear, concise discourse with a pragmatic holistic approach, makes it easy for the men at our church to listen, reflect, and accept God’s infinite love into our hearts. From his profound and contemplative understanding of the God’s Words, men have learned how to apply selflessness and God’s eternal love in our daily life.  He has a gift of teaching the Word with tremendous passion.

T2i seeks to be faithful to God and man by prioritizing an exegetically accurate and Holy Spirit-driven application of the Scriptures in its relations with individuals, families and churches.  It prayerfully seeks to be scripturally sound, while culturally sensitive, in ministering the Word of God. I highly recommend this vital and important ministry.

I have the privilege of serving the Lord with Pastor Tae. The first time I heard him speak, he not only deeply inspired and encouraged me and my family, but taught me to  laugh more,  the kind that brings tears to your eyes. I have sought his advice in my personal life . He  has tremendously encouraged  me to expect  God’s goodness in my life.  His interpersonal and  communication skills make it easy to interact with him. He not only has a great  analytical and mentoring ability, his compassionate ways make him stand out. His sermons make us feel lifted. Liz Cordova, son, Wes, Orange, CA

Who is Pastor Tae Shin?  Coming from my perspective as one who has been closely involved in his ministry for more than ten years, I can definitely recommend him to anyone who wishes to use his gifts as pastor, teacher and counselor. As an active elder in the local church for about 40 years, I have served with and observed many pastors and leaders. And so, I know quality when I see it. Elder Bill Letson, Artesia, CA

Pastor Tae Shin has a great ability to teach, because he communicates clearly and precisely. There is a focus to his messages, there are no wasted episodes of time; he is clearly communicating the truth of the Bible that is applicable and relevant. I cannot say how much I appreciate Pastor Tae Shin, not only as a servant of God, but also as a brother in Christ. I believe any group, church, ministry would benefit from having as your speaker or teacher.
Pastor Steve Lee, Fullerton, CA

Brilliantly organized and soundly versed in scripture and its application, Pastor Tae Shin brings both his intelligence and a keen sense of timing and humor to every sermon or teaching he gives.  Accessible for counsel or advice, his sincere smile and his welcoming and calming demeanor exude both confidence and gravitas.  An entertaining and insightful teacher, his audience leaves with instruction as well as a chuckle or two at his illustrations. With the ability to get to the kernel of a problem, whether it is to explain scripture or to give advice in conflict resolution, he effectively works to be clear and find a solution.   Pastor Tae has our deepest respect in his depth of knowledge as well as the variety of methods he uses to make his points understandable and clear to all.  We sincerely recommend his teaching ministry and his website as a resource for all who wish to learn and be inspired. Irene Matthews, Journalist, husband, Ed,

My wife and I have known Pastor Tae for approximately 10 years. Over the course of these years we have witnessed his commitment to the church of Christ in many different ways. As a pastor he has always demonstrated a genuine love and concern for his flock. On many occasions we have enjoyed his unique way of delivering the Gospel message. On a corporate level, he is a dynamic and passionate speaker and on a personal level he encourages and motivates people. As a board member of Samaritan Medical Foundation, an outreach ministry to the Muslim world, he has demonstrated not only wisdom, but also excellent leadership. It is our strong belief that whoever has the opportunity to be under  Pastor Tae’s teaching, preaching or counsel, will be blessed by his profound knowledge of and clear insights into Scripture. Elder / Dr. John and Jenneke Kaddis, Artesia, CA

Pastor Tae is a true artist.  What some people don't know about him is his amazing gift of music, particularly in the understanding of the power of music in the praise, meditation, reflection, and worship of God.  His sermons and teachings are like well crafted songs, they have always held my attention and curiosity, and have moved and challenged me. Elder Phil Lee and family, Sound and Recording Engineer, Fullerton, CA

Pastor Tae has a wealth of knowledge and experience combined with a passion and fear for the infinite wisdom of the knowledge of God found in the Scriptures. You will gain insights for living that will empower you to live life the way it was meant to be lived! Don't pass these pearls of wisdom by! Pastor Ray Causly, Compton, CA

I have gained great nuggets of truth from Pastor Tae that have strengthened our marriage and family. He is witty, sensitive and wise in his application of these truths from God's Word that are timeless. You must do all you can to drink from the well of the Word that comes through this servant of God. Ruth Causly, photo coming

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

Perhaps foremost is Pastor Tae's ability to mobilize potential leaders within the church first by helping them identify their unique competencies, second by aiding them in finding a need that matches well with their gifts and abilities, and third by equipping them with the knowledge and training necessary to lead that ministry. He does so with patience and compassion, ministering unto those that he is developing for leadership.  As an elder, I personally have benefited from Pastor Tae's ministry. He has provided us a biblical understanding of what it means to be an elder through an excellent in-depth training program that he himself has put together. I remember well our interview with Pastor Tae. At one point in that interview, he looked us in the eye and stated "you can count on me. I will not drop the ball."  No truer words could have been spoken.  In an age when clichés are common and promises cheap, Pastor Tae has been a man of action. Elder / Dr. Peter Hill, Professor at BIOLA University, La Mirada, CA

Our church has been tremendously blessed by Pastor Tae’s teaching on biblical manhood and womanhood.  We’ve personally been blessed by the T2i events that Pastor Tae has organized.  In addition, the “Pastor’s Wives Fellowship” started by T2i has been a huge source of encouragement to pastor’s wives in the Bay Area.
Pastor Bob and Christine Lee, Milpitas, CA

Pastor Tae has done much for me to understand the aggregation of Scripture into sound doctrine. His teachings always have "take away" content. His obedience to preach the Word is unfailing. God has gifted him to communicate to laymen.

Dr. Ting Wang, Hebrew scholar, Palo Alto, CA

I have come to value Pastor Tae's assessment skills regarding church matters. His constant call to action, and personal effectiveness when he discovers a need or when the circumstances are thrusted upon him, have earned him the respect of all with whom he has worked. 
Elder Shawn Smith, Orange, CA

Tae Shin is biblical, practical and clear.  Members of our church have expressed great appreciation for his ministry both at our church and at T2i.  Pastor Tae has been well received because not only are his messages biblical, they are specific in their application.  No one can leave without a clear understanding of how to apply God’s Word to their situation. Pastor Jeff Landis, San Jose, CA

Pastor Tae is committed to God's word and doing His work in the kingdom. I have witnessed his work in developing new ministries and revitalizing existing ministries in our church.
