About this listen

In this inspiring episode of the Forum Podcast from Calvin Theological Seminary, we sit down with Dr. Charles Oh, 2025 Doctor of Ministry graduate, whose groundbreaking research explores the spiritual vitality of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) living and working in religiously restrictive countries.

Drawing from years of missionary experience in the Philippines and interviews conducted in the Middle East, Dr. Oh shares moving stories of faith, perseverance, and community among Filipino workers who worship quietly yet powerfully in places where religious expression is limited.

Join hosts Rev. Jeff Sajdak and Dr. Geoff Vandermolen as they discuss:

-What inspired Dr. Oh’s research on “forgotten” overseas workers -The surprising realities of faith life in restrictive nations -How churches can remember and support those they send -The deeper spiritual lessons of resilience, prayer, and calling
