Conversation with Jon Wong
Episode 119
Monday, 20 April, 2026
A search for belonging can make you fearless in all the wrong ways, and Jon Wong knows that story from the inside. Jon joins us from Vancouver, Canada, and walks us through growing up as the only Asian kid in his class, navigating third culture identity, and trying to earn a place to fit in. That hunger for acceptance spiralled into a life of drugs, dealing, arrests, and juvenile detention by the time he was sixteen, before his parents intervened and sent him to Teen Challenge. What stands out is how he describes grace: not as a slogan, but as the steady hand of God protecting him when he could not see it. If you want a Christian testimony that connects addiction recovery, calling, church leadership, and prayer, this conversation will stay with you.
