Ep.37 From Broken to Whole : Finding Freedom in Our Relationships (*Seminar at VAY)

Faith & Feels by Rika Lopez

Episode notes

In this special episode of Faith and Feels, I’m sharing a recent seminar I gave at VAY (Vietnamese American Youth Leaders Christian Conference) on June 22nd, 2025. I spoke on the journey from brokenness to wholeness in relationships—covering topics like love addiction, trauma bonding, and the deep need for healing through Jesus.

Together, we explore how our past wounds impact our present connections, and why knowing your identity in Christ is essential for freedom. I also introduce practical tools like the Faster Scale to help identify destructive patterns and encourage honest conversations with your accountability partners, mentors, and even God Himself. Whether you’re a youth leader, student, or just curious about how faith and psychology intersect, this episode is for you.
