Why do we fall for toxic people?

Why do we go for the things in a relationship we know aren’t healthy or good for us? Let’s talk about it. In this episode, we’re breaking down why so many of us get drawn into toxic relationships, even in Christian spaces. We cover six red flags of toxic people—like manipulation, control, and emotional abuse—and how to tell the difference between normal flaws and toxic traits.

We’re diving into how your past, family dynamics, and unmet needs might be wiring you for chaos instead of peace. Plus, we’ll look at biblical stories like Samson and Delilah to show how toxic patterns can lead to destruction.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a toxic cycle or want to help a friend who’s struggling, this episode offers practical steps to break free and find healing.

Tune in now and learn how to break the toxic cycles in your relationships.
