Ep.44 An Honest Conversation on Sex, Porn, Love Addiction in the Church with Pastor Wilson Wang & Kristen Whitmore

Faith & Feels by Rika Lopez

Episode notes

In this episode of Faith and Feels, I have the privilege to share in a special first-take conversation originally recorded for the SOLA Network leaders podcast with Pastor Wilson Wang and Renew Church staff member, Kristen Whitmore. Together, they unpack the often-hidden struggles of sexual addiction and love addiction—issues that leave many feeling isolated and weighed down by shame.

The discussion highlights why accountability and connection are vital for healing, how church leaders can model vulnerability, and the importance of addressing underlying issues rather than avoiding them. This honest and hope-filled conversation offers encouragement, practical insight, and a reminder that transformation is possible when we walk together in community.

You will surely be blessed by this conversation!
