“Breaking Free from Codependency: God First, Not People”

Ladies we want to prayer for you. Please take time to share your story or just ask for prayer. We would love to be unrelated sister to you!In this episode of Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation, Shannon and Deb dive into what the Bible says about codependency and how to recognize it in our relationships. Codependency often looks like putting people’s approval, happiness, or needs above God—but Scripture shows us a better way.Together, we walk through five biblical truths:God First, Not People – Matthew 22:37–39; Galatians 1:10Healthy Boundaries – Proverbs 4:23; Galatians 6:2, 5Idolatry of Relationships – Jeremiah 17:5–8Freedom in Christ – John 8:36; 2 Corinthians 3:17Love vs. Enabling – 1 Corinthians 13:4–6; Ephesians 4:15Through Scripture, real talk, and encouragement, we uncover how God calls us to love deeply—but not to lose ourselves in people. True biblical love is rooted in Christ, expressed in healthy boundaries, and keeps Him at the center.✨ Closing Prayer: “Father, thank You for Your perfect love that sets us free. Teach us to love others without losing ourselves, to guard our hearts with wisdom, and to put You above all else. Break unhealthy patterns of fear, guilt, or control, and lead us into relationships that reflect Your truth and freedom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”We want this to be truly interactive podcast.
