Toxic teachings can confuse us into believing that enduring pain is a virtue. Many Christian women have been taught to bury their emotions, silencing their true feelings in the name of peace. But it’s time to break free from these harmful beliefs.

Suffering doesn’t equal strength. Recognizing our worth means embracing our feelings, not pushing them aside.

We’re on a journey to redefine what true love looks like—one that values boundaries and emotions.

Are you ready to challenge the status quo?

Kris Reece is a counselor, coach, author, and speaker who has spent over 30 years studying toxic relationships professionally, enduring them personally, and discerning them biblically. Today, she helps Christians break free from manipulation, set boundaries that actually stick, and conquer codependency without losing their faith or sanity in the process.

Kris is also the author of her latest book Breaking the Narcissist’s Grip, helping readers break free from emotional control and reclaim their God given life from takers.

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian culture—obedience—and how it’s often been taught in ways that lead to fear, pressure, and silence instead of freedom.

If you’ve ever:

• felt like you couldn’t question authority
• struggled to speak up without feeling “rebellious”
• stayed in situations that didn’t feel right because you thought it was “obedience”
• or felt anxious trying to do everything “right” in your faith

...then this episode will help you start making sense of that.

We’re breaking down the difference between:

• obedience vs control
• being led by the Spirit vs being driven by fear
• surrender vs losing your voice

And we’re grounding it in Scripture—looking at how Jesus actually invited people into obedience through love, not pressure.

Because real obedience doesn’t come from fear.
It comes from relationship.

✨ You’re allowed to have discernment.
✨ You’re allowed to ask questions.
✨ And you’re allowed to follow God without losing yourself.

We’re looking at what Scripture actually says about freedom, identity, and the way Jesus leads.

Because the truth is—Jesus didn’t come to silence you or shrink you.
He came to set you free.

✨ You’re not crazy.
✨ You’re not too much.
✨ You’re not alone.

In this episode, we talk about:

• the pressure to be the “good Christian woman”
• obedience, purity, and submission teachings
• spiritual guilt and losing your voice
• why so many women feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected

If you’ve ever felt like: something in your faith didn’t sit right, you’ve been told to stay quiet or “just submit”, you’re trying to do everything right but still feel overwhelmed...then you are not alone.

Jesus came to bring freedom—not silence, fear, or control. And it’s time we start having honest conversations about what’s really been shaping us.

God gave you one physical body so you can live, move, and breathe, and He gave you a vital resource to fuel it––food. But because of damaging diet culture and pervasive body-shaming messages, it can be hard to have a relaxing, enjoyable relationship with food. Today we have nutritionist Meredyth Fletcher joining us, who believes that your perspective on food is directly impacted by your view of God, and in The (Good) Food Solution, she will help you shift any distorted perceptions on food to see it, not as a burden, but as a gift from God to nourish your body.

What IS abuse? What if someone didn't mean to cause harm? How does Matthew 18 apply when abuse is happening? Are we supposed to stay in community with our abuser?

"God wants us to be safe. I don't think he actually wants us to step into harm's way." - Jana Richardson

Would you know if someone were abusing you? “I didn’t know the cycle of abuse, or that it’s normal to feel guilt for something that’s not your fault, to have complex emotions about your abuser as you heal. I learned that I could set boundaries, choose not to reconcile, and still pursue the internal freedom of forgiveness.” – Tricia Lott Williford
