21 | God Never Asked You to Be Their Savior: Escaping the Trap of Codependency with Christian Therapist Rachel Goff

Are you always the “fixer” or the “helper” — the one who can’t rest until everyone around you is okay? This week on Trust God, Be Confident, we’re diving into a topic so many of us wrestle with but rarely name: codependency. Host Sarah Coppiano and guest Rachel Goff unpack what codependency really is (and what it’s not), how it shows up in our relationships, and what healing through a biblical lens looks like. Rachel shares her personal testimony of recognizing unhealthy patterns, breaking free from people-pleasing, and finding peace in God’s approval — not others’. Together, we explore: ✨ A simple, clear definition of codependency ✨ What codependency can look like in friendships, dating, and family life ✨ Rachel’s story of finding freedom and healing in Christ ✨ How Scripture calls us to healthy love and boundaries ✨ Why true love doesn’t mean control — it means trust You’ll walk away encouraged to love others from a place of wholeness, not fear, and reminded that your worth doesn’t depend on who you can save — because Jesus already did that. Bible Verses Mentioned: Galatians 1:10 – Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Matthew 22:37–39 – Love God first, then love your neighbor as yourself. Proverbs 29:25 – Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. If you’ve struggled with people-pleasing or finding your identity in others, this conversation will speak right to your heart. 💜 👉 Join the email list for weekly faith encouragement and podcast updates: Join Here
