The only person we are called to depend on with all our hearts in God. When we take our eyes off of Jesus and place them on another it can really hurt relationships, others, and ourselves. Understanding healthy dependency is important because we can refocus and do better when we learn about what we do wrong in relationships. Join me with Lidia Martinez as we dive into the different forms of dependency. We talk about cultivating and nurturing healthy relationships by having healthy boundaries with the people you love. 

Learn more about the three types of dependencies in relationships; enmeshed, codependency and interdependency. Whenever you lean on God, then it is harder to be codependent. It becomes much easier to be interdependent because your trust, energy, worth, and value will depend on your relationship with him.
