This is part four of the High Functioning Christian Women in Destructive Marriages series, and today we talk about a concept that ties the whole series together: sovereignty. 

Synonyms for sovereignty include: freedom, autonomy, and independence.

If you've spent years managing everyone's needs, shrinking your own, and building an identity around your capacity to give without limit, this episode will challenge a misunderstood theology that was never meant for women who are already pouring out from an empty cup.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• There's a critical difference between two things that look almost identical from the outside, and which one you're living in changes everything about how you understand your marriage.
• The "die to self" command you've been handed your whole life? It may have been written for the exact opposite kind of person from you.
• Why does even asking yourself "what do I need?" feel like a threat to your survival, not just a little uncomfortable?
• What Jesus actually modeled about rest, limits, and saying no might completely reframe what you think faithful living looks like.
• The one question you could ask yourself in the mirror every single morning that could quietly begin to change everything.
