Faith That Connects: How One Family Found Deeper Communication Through the Bible

In Korean culture, it's commonly said that religion and politics should not be discussed at the dinner table. These topics are often seen as too personal, too sensitive, or simply too divisive—especially among family members. But for one man and his family, faith became the very thing that brought them closer.

When Faith Becomes the Bridge

Jung Myungho, a believer at Shincheonji Church of Jesus in Incheon, shared how his spiritual journey changed the way his family communicates. Although once a student of Presbyterian seminary, he always struggled to understand the deeper meaning of the Bible. His search for clear, logical teaching led him to Shincheonji—and it changed everything.

“I found answers that made sense,” Jung says. “The Word was so logical that I felt drawn to it. That’s how my walk of faith really began.”

As he studied the Bible, his life began to change. He eventually met his wife—then a fellow Bible student—at church. Their shared values and spiritual discussions became the foundation of their relationship. Today, both of their children also attend Shincheonji, and conversations about life, faith, and Scripture flow naturally within the family.

Bible Talks at the Dinner Table

In many homes, it’s hard to talk about deeper matters. But for Jung’s family, it’s part of daily life. His children come to him with questions about Scripture, and the family regularly talks about what they’re learning from church.

Even their nightly routines reflect this: they take turns giving short “10-minute Revelation speeches,” sharing key points and reflections from the Word. This practice, inspired by church activities, strengthens not only their faith but also their trust and connection with one another.

“Having a shared topic and common interest like this made it much easier to guide my children in life,” Jung says.

A Faith That Grows with the Family

Today, his daughter is a youth teacher at church—following in her father's footsteps. The faith that once connected Jung and his wife now helps them stay close to their children through open dialogue and mutual respect.

In a society where faith is often kept private, this story shows a new way: a home where faith is the foundation, not the taboo. A place where talking about God doesn’t divide, but unites.
