Ep. 032 – From Codependence to Christ-Dependence – Resurrection & Rest Part 3: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch

If you’ve been rescuing, fixing, or performing to feel safe or loved, this episode is for you. Dr. Barbara shows how the Cross ended striving and the Resurrection began rest—not just spiritually, but in your nervous system. We explore how anxiety points to places not yet surrendered (Curtis Chang), how prayer and worship literally rewire fear circuits in the brain (Dr. Andrew Newberg), how dysfunctional family rules (“Don’t talk. Don’t feel. Don’t trust.”) and family roles (hero, scapegoat, lost child, mascot) feed codependent patterns, and howabiding (John 15) breaks the Triangle of Pain (Victim–Rescuer–Persecutor). You’ll finish with a powerful guided encounter: the Father’s hand in the dark and a restored childhood moment with Jesus.
