Conquer Codependency God’s Way

Hi there! Welcome to the Treasured Ministries Podcast and YouTube Channel, where we talk about Conquering Codependency God's Way. My name is Aliene Thompson and I am your host, the executive director of Treasured Ministries International, the creator of the Nourish Bible Study Method and the founder of the Treasured Tribe, an online community for women. For years, I was unaware of my codependency because it flew right under the radar of my confused Christianity and controlling tendencies to find love. But when I discovered real intimacy with God - everything changed. Now, I'm not a psychologist or a therapist, - no fancy letters behind my name. I am a woman that found freedom from codependency through God dependency. Now I am passionate about sharing with others what God has taught me. So, join me as we discover the truth, experience freedom, and live treasured. It’s time to take back your free will, surrender it to God and thrive!

    Why Grieving Is the Key to Healing from Codependency

In today’s episode of Conquering Codependency God’s Way, we’ll explore: Why grieving is essential for breaking free from codependency How unhealed wounds lead to self-sabotage and toxic cycles Biblical truths about grief and how God heals our hearts A powerful workbook to guide you through the healing process Don’t rush your healing.

    Codependency & Deception: Why Love-Bombing Feels Good but Leaves You Empty

    Our spiritual inheritance is a divine gift, but it does not make us immune to the enemy’s schemes. Even the strongest believers can be tempted by bribes that sabotage their birthright—just as warned in Deuteronomy 16:19. In the realm of co-dependency, these bribes often come disguised as love—especially in the form of love-bombing, an overwhelming flood of flattery and affection that momentarily fills our need for validation. But when the illusion fades, we are left feeling empty, unworthy, and heartbroken. In today’s episode of Conquering Codependency God’s Way, we explore: How the story of Jacob & Esau reveals the dangers of trading our God-given inheritance for fleeting comforts. The enemy’s tactics of deception and how they manifest in relationships and codependency. How God’s love provides true resilience, shielding us from the counterfeit validations that lead to heartbreak. Practical steps to break free from the trap of love-bombing and embrace your identity in Christ. God’s love is not a bribe—it is an inheritance! Join us as we uncover the truth and let the Lion ROAR in our lives. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment if this episode resonates with you!

    Break Free from Codependency By Giving God The Rope

    Are you caught in a relentless tug-of-war with injustice that’s stealing your peace and joy? When we’re trapped in codependency, we often unknowingly surrender our power to others, making it difficult to confront injustice and leaving us emotionally and spiritually drained. We feel powerless, we lose our joy, and sometimes, we even fight against God instead of allowing Him to step in. But here’s the good news: we have a powerful choice in God-dependency. Through Christ’s faithfulness, we can let go of the struggle and trust God to bring true justice and healing. In today’s episode of Conquering Codependency God’s Way, learn how to release the rope, let God work, and experience the joy of watching Him set things right. Discover how flourishing in His love is the ultimate justice. Ready to find peace and strength in God’s hands? Join me in today’s episode!

    Healing from Emotional Abuse: Conquering the Mountain of Shame

    Emotional abuse leaves deep, unseen wounds that can feel like one of the toughest mountains to climb on your healing journey. The words and actions of others plant seeds of shame, burying hidden triggers that disrupt your sense of worth and identity as God’s child. Unlike visible physical wounds, emotional wounds are often ignored, leaving the pain lingering beneath the surface. In today’s episode of Conquering Codependency God’s Way, we explore how these powerful messages impact your life and why taking God’s hand can lead to true healing and freedom. Jesus Himself spoke to the depth of emotional hurt, equating words of harm to physical damage (Matthew 5:21-22). When you take that courageous step toward validation and then let God guide you, this journey becomes your opportunity to break free from toxic patterns for good. Are you ready for a breakthrough? Listen now, and please share this message to help others find their path to healing.
