From Codependence to Christ-Dependence | Part 22: The Cure to Pain You've Been Missing Ep93
Codependency isn't a personality flaw. It's a worship disorder.
In this series finale of the Heart Journey Podcast, From Codependence to Christ-Dependence, Dr. Barbara brings the entire journey together from the Garden to the Cross to Pentecost and names the cure in one word: Hineni. Here am I. The answer is yes.
Anchored by the stories of Kathryn Kuhlman and her "thousand deaths" of surrender, and Augustine of Hippo and the restless heart that only rests in God, this episode reframes codependency as attachment misalignment, loving the gift more than the Giver.
You'll revisit the core frameworks of the series: the Garden's fear, shame, and blame; why boundaries feel like death; the geometry of love and riverbanks that keep love from becoming a swamp; the physics of trust, rotating around God instead of demanding the world rotate around you; child parts and nervous system healing in Christ; resentment, forgiveness, lament, and generational repair; and the Holy of Holies life marked by joy, obedience, and freedom.
The episode culminates in a communion-centered encounter, receiving the body and blood of Christ, letting His love uproot codependency, and stepping into a threefold yes of surrender.
We made it.
From worship disorder to Bridegroom love.
From fear to Pentecost power.
Hineni.

Flashback Friday: A cure for outrage? with Marilyn Hickey Ep92
It's Flashback Friday on the Heart Journey Podcast! In this inspiring episode, Dr. Barbara sits down with Mama Marilyn Hickey, a spiritual mother to countless women in ministry who has blazed a path through criticism, resistance, and perseverance, anchored firmly in the Word of God. From getting "hooked on the Book" at age 11 to speaking God's promises over your life,
Marilyn shares how Scripture can reshape your faith, build boldness, turn disappointments into appointments, and help you navigate life with purpose. As we close the season From Codependence to Christ-Dependence, this conversation reminds us that when your life is rooted in the Word, fear, people-pleasing, and emotional outsourcing lose their power, and your faith begins to move mountains.
Tune in for practical wisdom, encouragement, and a fresh faith reset.

From Codependence to Christ Dependence | Part 21: When Everything Falls Apart, How to thrive Ep91
Holy Week isn't just a story. It's a pattern.
In this Resurrection Week episode of the Heart Journey Podcast, Dr. Barbara shares how Wednesday miracles → Thursday tremor → Friday exposure → Saturday waiting → Sunday reorganization → Pentecost empowerment became a map for her own crisis. She reflects on how June 6th became her "Good Friday"—a convergence that exposed false dependencies, invited deep repentance, and began breaking codependency at its root. This is not about avoiding fire. It's about being salted by it.
You'll learn what to do when the knife feels at the neck of what you love most, why "Hineni" (Here I am) is the opposite of codependency, how metanoia reorients the nervous system, and why Holy Saturday is not wasted time. Grounded in Luke 22–24, John 13 and 19, Mark 9:49, Revelation 1:18, and 2 Timothy 1:7, this episode traces how Jesus holds the keys, walks the Emmaus road, and reorganizes meaning after suffering, leading to Pentecost power marked by love and a sound mind.
The episode closes with a guided prayer to surrender false control and receive fresh empowerment.
If your life feels like Saturday, you are not alone.
You are being formed.
And Sunday is real.
