Frequently Asked Questions

What is Beloved Rising?

Beloved Rising is a faith-based ministry dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing from co-dependency and narcissistic patterns. We believe that through God's grace and transformative love, healthier relationships with ourselves and others are possible. Our mission is to guide you toward the freedom and wholeness that comes from understanding your true identity as God's beloved.

Who is this website for?

Our ministry serves:

• Individuals struggling with co-dependency – those who have lost sight of their God-given worth, struggle with boundaries, or seek validation through others rather than in Christ

• Individuals with narcissistic tendencies – those courageously seeking transformation, desiring to develop empathy, and longing to experience authentic connection with God and others

We also support family members, and friends walking alongside loved ones in these struggles.

What is co-dependency from a faith perspective?

Co-dependency often reflects a spiritual disconnect where we seek from others what only God can provide – our identity, worth, and security. It's placing people on the throne of our hearts where God alone belongs. Common signs include difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, and neglecting the care of ourselves as God's temple.

What does narcissistic mean in this context?

Narcissism represents a deep wound and disconnection from our true identity in Christ. These patterns – including difficulty with empathy, need for admiration, and entitlement – often mask profound pain and a searching heart. We believe that recognizing these patterns is the first step toward healing, and that God's love can reach even the most wounded parts of our hearts.

What resources do you offer?

We provide biblically-grounded educational content, prayer resources, spiritual reflections, and practical tools for developing self-awareness through God's perspective. Our materials support your journey toward healthy boundaries, authentic self-worth rooted in Christ, and relationships that honor God's design for connection.

Do you offer therapy or counseling?

Beloved Rising provides spiritual support and educational resources. We strongly encourage working with both licensed Christian mental health professionals and spiritual leaders for comprehensive care. Our content is meant to complement your faith journey and professional support, not replace either.

Is this information biblically grounded?

Yes. Our resources integrate biblical truth with psychological understanding of relational patterns. We believe God has given us both Scripture and wisdom through mental health research to aid in our healing. Every person's journey is unique, and we encourage prayerful discernment alongside professional guidance.

How do I get started?

Begin with prayer, asking God to reveal areas where healing is needed. Explore our resources at your own pace, inviting the Holy Spirit to bring insight and conviction. We recommend journaling your prayers and reflections, and when ready, seeking support from a Christian therapist or pastoral counselor.

Is change possible?

Absolutely. We serve a God of restoration and redemption. Through surrender to Christ, commitment to growth, and often with professional Christian support, profound transformation is possible. You can develop healthier patterns, Christ-centered boundaries, and relationships that reflect God's love. Healing takes time, patience, and above all, grace – both God's grace for you and the grace you extend to yourself.

Where does healing begin?

Healing begins with understanding that you are deeply loved by God exactly as you are, while also being invited into transformation. It starts with bringing your brokenness to the cross and believing that Christ's work is sufficient for your wholeness. As you grow in your identity as God's beloved child, healthy patterns naturally emerge.

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18
