Description

In this episode we discuss the roots of codependency and how it affects your true God-given identity. My guest is Leah Cettina who didn’t even know she was thinking and acting codependently until she joined a Celebrate Recovery program.

Leah shares when and how she discovered she was using codependency to identify with herself and others. She shares her own journey of how codependency shaped her behavior within her relationships as she sought acceptance from people more than the acceptance of God. You can be set free from acceptance-seeking behaviors when you know that God accepts you just the way you are. After all, He created you to be like Him.

When we know who we are in Christ we can see ourselves for who we truly are (made in His image). We can be set free from adopting and utilizing negative behaviors like codependency. The only One we should be dependent upon is our Saviour.

Today we cover:

• What is codependency?
• How do you know if you are codependent? (most people aren’t aware they are)
• Did you know that if you are saved your identity is in Jesus?
• Did you know that who you are in relation to Jesus is your truest identity?
• Practical steps, resources, and tools to freedom from codependency
