About
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.
Matt 11v28, MSG
Oikon Studios is learning to walk in the unforced rhythms of grace. Spiritual formation is not a matter of striving, but yielding to the ways of living in union with God, for the sake of the world.
The name Oikon is rooted in the Greek word oikos, meaning “household” or “dwelling.” It reminds us God is making a home among us: within our hearts, our communities, and the everyday spaces we inhabit.
Studios evokes faith as a practice. Like an artist returning to the canvas or a musician refining a melody, a life of faith is something we return to daily. It is a slow intentional shaping of the soul through reflection, discipline, and love.
At the heart of Oikon Studios is prayer. Time, space, silence, and words that help our faith travel the great distance from the head to the heart, where knowing God is experiential, intimate, embodied, and transformative.
Through liturgies, reflections, music, and publications we hope to accompany you in the quiet, joyful work of walking with Christ.
Oikon Studios is the creative work of Rev. Mike Whang, an artist, author, and investment advisor from Los Angeles, now based in Houston, where he and his partner, Lisa, are raising their two native Texan daughters. Mike received his M. Div from Duke Divinity School and is an Ordained Elder of the United Methodist Church.
