Abstract:

This interactive workshop explores how Asian American Christians can navigate seasons of transition, conflict, and loss with faith and relational wholeness. Drawing from personal experiences, attachment theory, and spiritual formation, we will reflect on the default patterns we bring to these spaces, the factors that shaped them, and how God might be inviting us to steward these moments for growth. Through guided questions and discussion, participants will gain tools to deepen their spiritual and relational journeys in times of uncertainty.
