No Matter the Cost: Walking Out Kingdom Life with Seelian Chua

In this episode of The Father’s Life, Michael Pierce sits down with his longtime friend, Seelian Chua, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Together, they reflect on Seelian’s powerful journey—from two decades in the corporate world to leading a congregation as a spiritual father—and the lessons he’s learned about raising up the next generation of leaders.
 
Their conversation dives deep into themes of spiritual perseverance, walking out kingdom life “no matter the cost,” and learning to build healthy, intergenerational church families. They share inspiring stories of ministry among Malaysia’s tribal communities, the importance of opening our homes and tables, and how to walk alongside others so they can flourish.
 
Seelian’s heart for the nations, his commitment to relational discipleship, and his call for Canadians (and believers everywhere) to reach “one life, one family at a time” will challenge and encourage you. This episode ends with a powerful prayer for listeners to become bridges of God’s love in their own communities.
