Understanding God's Love

God’s Solution to Shame

May 21, 2024 by Aliene

Do You Carry the Weight of Shame?

Listen to the Podcast Below or Watch on YouTube.

You deserve to live a life free from shame. Yes, you do!

Shame can obstruct God’s cure for codependency. By addressing shame, you can conquer codependency, trust in God, and embrace true freedom.

For these reasons, Treasured Ministries will be kicking off a teaching series this summer called So Long Shame!, so that every woman can discover how to release shame, God’s Way. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel or Podcast for faith-filled teaching messages to confront the three primary lies that breed shame with Biblical truth.

It’s time to say So Long to Shame!

To get the most out of the So Long Shame! series, become a Treasured Tribe Member. There, you will gain access to corresponding materials for each teaching message. 

In the Tribe, the So Long Shame! Bible study, worksheets, exercises, listening guides, and all teaching messages are housed in one place for easy access to equip you with God’s timeless tools to bid farewell to shame, God’s way, and flourish.

Shame is not a weight that God is asking you to carry. Release that heavy weight this summer and find courage to bloom!

In today’s teaching message discover the three main lies that breed shame.

Let’s do this!

What Is the Source of Real Love?

May 7, 2024 by Brooke Wessel

What Does Real Love Look Like?

Listen to Podcast below or Watch on YouTube.

Is your heart thirsty for more?

Today, Lord, I exchange idols for intimacy,
codependency for God dependency,
seeking fulfillment my way for seeking you.
In this divine exchange, I find fulfillment and freedom as you’ve intended.

Codependency, a confusing and exhausting state, ensnares us when we place people at the center of our lives instead of God. In his sneaky ways, the enemy drains us by redirecting our efforts.

We find ourselves cradling the idolatry of others, constantly helping and rescuing, yet never fully quenching our thirst. This perpetual chase creates unhealthy cycles, leading us into bondage instead of God’s freedom, leaving us utterly exhausted.

When we change the rudder of our hearts through our choice to put God first – when we make it a lifestyle declaration – everything changes. Remember, we are all designed to serve something or someone. God wired our hearts this way to lead us to Him.

So, why not choose to serve God with joy? He delights in giving us abundant life.

Serving people, things, or even ourselves will always leave us wanting more. Serving God brings true fulfillment. (Deuteronomy 28:47-48)

It is a daily walk of God dependency that leads us to freedom!

Codependency is not a problem to be solved, but a lifestyle to be replaced with daily God dependency. The antidote for codependency is nourishing your soul daily with God’s spoken Word.

This is why we equip women with the Nourish Bible Study Method in the Treasured Tribe – so they can exchange codependency for God dependency and thrive. 

 “Man does not live by bread alone but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God.”
– Matthew 4:4

As Paul David Tripp wisely said, “God uses a picture of physical food to point us to universal, spiritual hunger. Life is all about what we look to fill us”

In today’s message, discover the motivator to turn your heart’s rudder, to seek God first and satisfy your soul. 

ONWARD!

How to Discern God’s Voice when Setting Boundaries

April 9, 2024 by Brooke Wessel

What is the Belt of Truth?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

Codependency led me to live in captivity.  

While no physical prison bars confined me, my controlling tendencies and self-sufficiency robbed me of real freedom and prevented me from walking in God’s power.

All in the name of survival, fear and oppression drove me to develop the faulty defense mechanisms of control and self-sufficiency, instead of walking in God’s power under His protection.

Can you relate? 

One of the enemy’s greatest calling cards is using lies to trigger you to function out of fear, rather than faith – to use your armor to fight and fend for yourself.  

Discovering how to discern God’s voice to set boundaries was a vital part of releasing my armor. I was able to take hold of one of the most powerful parts of God’s spiritual armor – the belt of truth.

God’s discernment will give you guidance to set boundaries His way. 

In today’s message, discover how to grow in your discernment, secure the belt of truth, set boundaries with God’s guidance and confidently live out your calling. 

ONWARD!

Find the Courage to Love Again
