Greatest Hits Rerun: Jesus Was Not a Codependent

Greatest Hit Series: This originally aired as Episode 227.

So many Christians mix up Christlike love with codependent behavior—but Jesus Himself never rescued people from their consequences, avoided conflict to keep the peace, or ran Himself into burnout trying to fix everyone.

In this episode, Corrine and Neil break down why Jesus was NOT codependent, and how understanding His true example can bring more peace, agency, and healthy boundaries into your relationships.

They walk through powerful scriptures from Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” to the Sermon on the Mount, that show how Jesus honored agency, let people choose their own path, and taught us to love others without losing ourselves. Corrine also explains how people-pleasing, rescuing, and overgiving keep us stuck in codependent cycles, and what Christ actually modeled instead: clarity, compassion, rest, and perfect love.

If you want to learn how to set healthy boundaries, stop over-functioning, or love others in a more Christ-centered way, this conversation will give you hope, relief, and a totally new perspective on what it means to follow Jesus.
