Jesus was this brown Asian dude from The Middle East back in The Day, and when he was teaching, he was teaching the farmers, the other blue-collar workers, to normal people with real problems, and so his ideas are actually really accessible.
What happens when a mixed martial artist hangs up his gloves and picks up a Bible? In this episode of 'Native As I Can Be', Geno Ray sits down with Kenji Nitta, a man who embodies the intersection of two worlds. Half-Japanese and half-Caucasian, Kenji's life journey is a fascinating blend of combat sports and spiritual guidance.
As a former MMA fighter turned pastor, Kenji opens up about the challenges and rewards of living between cultures and how these experiences have shaped his unique approach to faith and community service. Kenji shares candid stories from his past, reflecting on his transition from the ring to the pulpit. He talks about how his background in social work and his deep connection to religion have guided him to help others find their own paths.
One of the most compelling aspects of Kenji's story is his belief in the accessibility of Jesus' teachings. He emphasizes that these teachings are universal and can resonate with anyone, no matter their cultural or personal background. This episode isn't just about faith; it's about finding one's true calling and making a meaningful impact in the world.
Kenji's words are both inspiring and practical, encouraging listeners to embrace their identities and use their unique experiences to contribute positively to their communities. His journey is a testament to the power of authenticity and the importance of connecting with people on a real, human level. If you're curious about how someone can successfully navigate such diverse roles, or if you're looking for a story that combines physical grit with spiritual wisdom, this episode is a must-listen.
