Autonomy & Faith: Reclaiming Your Voice Without Rebellion | Part 2 with Anna Seiple

Author: Living Truth Inc April 20, 2026 Duration: 28:03
What happens when blind, unquestioning obedience is expected — and silence is spiritualized? How does a lack of healthy developmental autonomy impact marriages, families, churches, and women navigating betrayal?   Drawing from developmental psychology and research on spiritual trauma, Kristin and licensed counselor AC Seiple unpack:   How shame forms when autonomy is not nurtured in childhood How spiritual systems can unintentionally cause harm when power is misused Sexual autonomy inside marriage after betrayal The cost of fearing relational rupture when we use our voice in marriage, ministry, and faith communities How humility and healing can restore autonomy in Christ   This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating betrayal trauma, pastor’s wives, and anyone wrestling with how to exercise their God-given voice without labeling themselves as "rebellious."   Autonomy is not the enemy of faith. What if it is actually one of the ways we love God — and others — most fully?   This episode explores autonomy, shame, spiritual trauma, and sexual betrayal recovery through a trauma-informed Christian lens.   🔗 Connect with Anna Christine Seiple: https://www.acseiple.com/   📖 Learn more about our programs: https://living-truth.org   The Living Truth Podcast; Conversations that shed light on the deeper issues that unlock healing from porn addiction, sex addiction, and sexual betrayal.   #LivingTruthPodcast #ChristianRecovery #FaithAndHealing #AddictionRecovery #MenInTheBattle #WomenInTheBattle #LivingTruth #ChristianHealing #BetrayalTraumaRecovery #SpiritualTrauma #FaithAndAutonomy #WomenInMinistry #PastorsWife #SexualBetrayalRecovery #TraumaInformedFaith #HealingInChrist #ChristianCounseling #EmbodiedFaith
