#209: Carol Klinger: When Your Daughter's Freedom Becomes Your Own

Death to Life podcast

Carol shares her journey from a people-pleasing, boundary-less upbringing to discovering the transformative power of the gospel later in life. Her testimony reveals how true freedom comes not from self-effort but from recognizing our complete identity in Christ.
• Raised in a multi-generational Adventist home without healthy boundaries
• Struggled with people-pleasing tendencies and inability to say "no"
• Marriage deteriorated despite regular church attendance and ministry involvement
• Experienced shocking moral failure that led to divorce and self-examination
• Found practical help through therapy but still lacked spiritual power
• Witnessed her daughter's dramatic transformation through understanding the gospel
• Finally understood what "Christ in me, the hope of glory" truly means
• Now experiences victory by asking Christ to manifest His character through her
• Currently involved in music ministry and spiritual warfare at her church
• Encourages others to surround themselves with people who understand gospel living
If you're feeling powerless against sin, know that your source must be God, not yourself. When you declare and claim your identity as God's forgiven child in Christ, that's where the power is.
