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