Podcasts about victimhood

In this solo deep dive, Dani unpacks the deleterious dark side of “niceness,” and explores how our cultural obsession with being good, polite, and palatable keeps us dishonest, disconnected, and disempowered — and how reclaiming authenticity is the only path to real integrity and intimacy. Along the way, she explores the weaponization of “privilege,” the pitfalls of polarized thinking, and the covert ways philanthropy and media co-opt truth-telling.This episode is a fiery reminder that playing “nice” isn't the same thing as being kind — and that speaking truth, even when it's uncomfortable, is the most loving act of all.Tune in, share widely, and stop being nice already!Watch on Odysee.

If you've ever been called “too nice,” struggled to set boundaries, or felt drained trying to please everyone — this one's for you. ✨ Who It's For: Chronic people pleasers who can't say no Anyone struggling with guilt, shame, or overgiving Women tired of being the “good girl” Anyone learning to protect their peace & energy

In this Super Human Life masterclass, Coach Frank Rich brings you a powerful compilation from three of our most impactful conversations with Annie Yatch — trauma expert, entrepreneur, and founder of NorthStar Leadership.   Across these deep and revealing clips, Annie breaks down how unresolved trauma shapes who we love, how we lead, and the life we build.

Financial advisor and author Mark Matson joins Behavioral Grooves to explore what the American Dream means today—and whether it's truly attainable for everyone. We dig into his view that fulfillment comes from mindset, not money, and examine how behavioral biases can sabotage our financial decisions. But as we discuss the tension between personal responsibility and systemic headwinds, we also ask: can discipline and optimism alone really guarantee success?

The modern love economy turns seduction into calculus. Beats that once celebrated devotion now sound like quarterly reports scored by 808s. GloRilla's defiance, Nicki Minaj's audit of desire, Lil Kim's monetized mantra—each line announces a shift from victimhood to strategy. Yet beneath the glitter hides an inversion of the oldest script: men no longer appear as sole hunters. Women fluent in the dialect of scarcity sometimes pursue wounded men as capital—resources measured in status, income, or insecurity.

A mindful, honest, and hopeful exploration of victimhood in medicine—what it is, how it shows up, and why so many of us feel trapped, powerless, and unseen within a deeply flawed system. We invite you to listen with curiosity and self-compassion, knowing that if you've found yourself here—tired, discouraged, or resigned—you are not alone, and nothing is wrong with you. Rather than shaming or simplifying, we offer this conversation as a compassionate mirror and a naming of what's real with clarity, awareness, and care.  We unpack moral injury, systemic betrayal, learned helplessness, and the quiet culture of resignation that seeps into even the most well-intentioned among us. Naming where we are is the essential first step to healing. This is part one of a two-part series. In this episode, we shine a mindful light on the roots of victimhood. In part two, we will offer mindful paths forward from powerlessness to purpose.   Pearls of Wisdom: Victimhood is not weakness, it's a human, protective response to chronic dysfunction. And it's not where you want to live. Naming victimhood with empathy, not judgment, allows us to reclaim agency, even within a broken system. Noticing where we give away our power is the first mindful step toward healing and change. Systemic “solutions” like suggestion boxes may unintentionally reinforce helplessness unless paired with authentic engagement and choice.   Reflection Questions: When have you felt the most powerless in medicine? What helps you feel safe and what erodes that sense of safety? What would it mean to believe that you still have influence, even in a broken system?     Don't miss the Mindful Moment at the end of this episode. It's an opportunity to ground, reflect, and reconnect to your inner wisdom with clarity and compassion. If this conversation resonates, I invite you to explore coaching with me to help you name and shift patterns of disempowerment in your life and career: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching You can also join me at a Pause & Presence Retreat—a nurturing, transformational space to reconnect to what matters most: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you would like to bring a more mindful, compassionate approach to your institution, team, or training program, I'd be honored to speak or lead a workshop: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking You can also invite Dr. Liang to speak or lead a breathwork workshop for your group: www.awakenbreath.org Together, one mindful conversation at a time, we can shift the culture of medicine.

In this episode, Lee breaks down the irony of Senator Lindsey Graham positioning himself as a victim of the Justice Department while having actively funded the very investigations targeting Donald Trump. From Jack Smith's political inquisition to Graham's votes for new FBI resources, Lee exposes the contradictions and consequences of trusting the “uni-party” system. Listeners will hear a detailed analysis of how political alliances can backfire, the lessons from history, and the real motivations behind Graham's public complaints. This episode is a must-listen for anyone tracking the intersections of politics, accountability, and power plays in Washington.

What if everything you've been told about anxiety only scratches the surface? We're taught to quiet our thoughts, reframe our worries, and “think positive.” But what if the real root of anxiety isn't in your head at all, it's in your body? In this transformative episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Russell Kennedy - physician, neuroscientist, and best-selling author of Anxiety Rx, who has made it his life's mission to uncover what truly heals anxiety. Drawing from his own decades-long struggle with crippling worry, psychedelic journeys, and breakthroughs in somatic healing, Dr. Kennedy reveals how anxiety is actually an alarm state stored in the body, often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma. Together, we explore why coping strategies and pharmaceuticals often fall short, and how practices like “sensation without explanation,” breathwork, and inner child connection open the door to real healing. Dr. Kennedy also shares why suppressed anger can turn children into adults locked in victimhood, how worry tricks the brain into false certainty, and why reclaiming a spiritual connection with yourself may be the missing piece in resolving anxiety. This episode is practical, eye-opening, and deeply human. If you've ever wrestled with anxiety or love someone who has, Dr. Kennedy's wisdom will help you understand it in a whole new way, and guide you back to a place of calm, safety, and inner trust.

Finding Superman: How Did Humanity Get So Soft? Somewhere along the way, humanity traded its hunger for comfort—and in doing so, tamed the tiger within. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick (The Dragon) takes you on a journey from the streets of post-earthquake Haiti to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring how society, culture, and convenience have softened our edge, silenced our will to power, and lulled us into complacency. Through stories, philosophy, and reflection, you'll rediscover Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch—the human who dares to rise above conformity, reclaim meaning, and say yes to life even in the storm. This is not about judgment. It's about remembering who we are, what we're capable of, and what it takes to awaken the untamed creator within. Because the world doesn't need more comfort, it requires more courage. The tiger's still there—waiting for you to let it out of its cage. Make Sense?

In this episode, Shanti goes to "back to school" night and discovers some things never change, while Antoinette prepares herself for a winter of quality entertainment. After listening to caller voicemails, we discuss victimhood. Are we active participants in our own suffering? Do we find comfort in confusion and chaos? Are we afraid to choose differently? Can you have high self esteem and still be a victim to life's challenges? Why or why not?

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2025/09/24/drlilie/Today, we are fortunate to have Dr. Lilie Chouliaraki with us. She is a Professor in Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and has spent her career examining how the media discusses human suffering and our own vulnerability.We are going to explore her work on how approaches to helping people have evolved over time. She walks us through the concept of "post-humanitarianism," which examines how our sense of solidarity has shifted. It is less about a shared sense of humanity and more about personal benefit, a kind of self-focused, consumer-style activism.We also explore the highly complex but timely topic of victimhood identity. Dr. Chouliaraki discusses how the language of being a victim has become a powerful political tool. She has examined how this concept of victimhood is sometimes used, or even manipulated, by those who are already privileged to gain more power, a concept she calls the "weaponization of victimhood." This can happen in ways that actually reinforce inequalities rather than challenge them.About  Dr. Lilie Chouliaraki Professor Lilie Chouliaraki is Chair in Media and Communications at LSE. She holds an MA and PhD from Lancaster University Department of Linguistics and a bachelor's degree from the School of Philosophy, University of Athens. In the past twenty-five years, her research has been examining how media shape our ethical and political relationships with vulnerable populations globally and how pain intersects with power relations in disaster news, humanitarian communication, migration, and conflict journalism across historical and digital contexts.Recently, Chouliaraki has focused on histories of victimhood within emotional capitalism, social media, and far-right populism. Her award-winning book "Wronged: The Weaponization of Victimhood" was published by Columbia University Press in 2024.She has received numerous international distincThe Dom Sub Living BDSM and Kink PodcastCurious about Dominance & submission?

Is it ever okay to walk away from your own mother… or your husband? (Cue the gasps from the peanut gallery clutching their pearls.) If you grew up in church culture, you probably heard that honoring your parents and submitting to your husband meant swallowing abuse with a smile. But guess what? That's not actually what Jesus had in mind.In this episode, I sit down with Christian counselor and author Kris Reese (yes, the YouTube powerhouse with over 476,000 subscribers) to dismantle the toxic myths that keep Christian women chained to destructive relationships.Together, we talk about:The big guilt trip – Why Christians confuse “honor” with “obey” and how that keeps grown women stuck in parent-child dynamics with their 70-year-old mothers.The covenant conundrum – What makes walking away from a spouse more complicated, and why wisdom (not religious rule-keeping) is the real key.The fog machine – Fear, obligation, and guilt: the trifecta abusers use to keep you running in circles like a hamster who just discovered Peloton.Boundaries ≠ lack of forgiveness – FACTS: You can forgive your mom and still not show up to her guilt-drenched Sunday dinners. You can forgive your husband and still not share a bed with him while he weaponizes scripture against you.Manipulation tactics 101 – Victimhood and scripture-twisting are the go-to moves of toxic moms and spouses everywhere. (“You're not being a good daughter/wife” translates to: “My control over you is slipping and I hate it.”)Trauma bonds and porcupines – Why you might be clinging to the emotional equivalent of a barbed-wire teddy bear, and how to finally put it down without losing your sanity.Why Christians stay too long – It's not because they're lazy or selfish. It's because they've been conditioned to confuse holiness with masochism.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Go to Kris' website to get on the waitlist so that you're the FIRST to know when her new book, Breaking the Narcissist's Grip, is released!Get her FREE Narcissist Survival Guide. Check out her YouTube channel.Connect with Kris on Instagram and Facebook.Kris Reece is a Christian counselor, author, and speaker who helps believers break free from toxic relationships and codependency biblically and practically.

Leaders often assume transformation comes from learning new skills or following the latest management trend. But real change begins when we confront our own beliefs, reflect deeply, and choose to step out of victimhood into agency. That inner work is what lays the foundation for lasting growth in how we lead and live. Only then can leaders create change that resonates far beyond the workplace.In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Shawn Quinn talk about the deep reflection leaders need to build their own reality and move from victimhood to agency in life and leadership.Shawn Quinn is the Managing Partner of Lift Consulting and Faculty Director of the Positive Leadership program at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. A leading voice in positive leadership and organizational transformation, he has advised global companies including GE, Coca-Cola, American Express, and the U.S. Army. Shawn is also co-author of Leading Innovation: How to Jumpstart Your Organization's Growth Engine.Shawn and Ashish explored how transformation doesn't come from another training, another framework, or another leadership fad. It happens when we pause, reflect, and face the beliefs that hold us back.Things you will also learn in this episode:• Breaking free from a victim mindset• Why belief shifts matter more than skills in true transformation• The power of small experiments, reflection, and awareness to spark change• How leaders at any level—not just executives—can create meaningful impact• How workplace behaviors ripple outward into family, children, and community• The challenge of systems and people resisting changeTune in now and see for yourself how this shift unlocks the kind of transformation no trend or tactic can deliver.✅Resources:• Related episode: (Robert Quinn) https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1b7c5df6-06e1-4929-83d3-5849caa6b9b5 • Strengthsfinder by Gallup: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/254033/strengthsfinder.aspx • A Fundamental State of Leadership Approach: https://scholar.valpo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1444&context=jvbl • Charles Snyder's Hope Theory: https://www.mindtools.com/aov3izj/snyders-hope-theory • The Sunflower Model: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/ee784c9c-cf26-48df-b07f-b4c0dcc638f3 • The Sunflower Model: https://happinesssquad.com/the-sunflower-model-career-transition-guide-with-ashish-kothari/ • The Power of the 5:1 Ratio: https://michiganvirtual.org/blog/the-power-of-the-51-ratio-in-the-classroom-how-fostering-positive-interactions-can-transform-student-learning/ • Martin Seligman's Learned Helplessness:

In this episode of Money on My Mind, I break down why mastering money isn't about complicated formulas or secret investment hacks—it's about your relationship with money.   At its core, money is simple: spend less than you make, invest the difference, and let time compound your returns. But fear, guilt, shame, and identity conflicts often sabotage even the smartest strategies. I share how subconscious beliefs, childhood programming, and emotional barriers can keep you stuck in a cycle of avoidance and scarcity, and I give you practical steps to reset your money mindset for long-term success.   This conversation will challenge your beliefs, push you to confront your fears, and give you a framework for aligning your identity with abundance.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 00:37 How your emotions about money make it complicated 01:38 The 3-step playbook: spend less than you make, invest the difference, let time work 02:27 The role of fear, guilt, and mindset blocks in your relationship with money 05:12 The unknown factor: why people fear investing like they fear the “unknown villain” in a movie 07:02 Scarcity and procrastination: why people hoard money instead of investing 08:10 Subconscious programming and avoidance behaviors 10:40 Guilt and shame: linking mistakes with self-worth keeps people stuck 11:42 Why avoiding your budget or bank account makes the problem worse 13:03 Identity conflict: “I grew up poor, I'm not supposed to be rich” 16:06 How labels hold you back from achieving your financial goals 18:02 Victimhood vs. ownership: why externalizing blame disempowers you 21:40 Breaking from the matrix mindset and thinking independently about money 24:53 Personal story: saving every paycheck at McDonald's, losing $1M in potential investments 28:35 Why environment and belief systems dictate results (Budget Dog Academy framework) 33:02 The two keys to success: focus and not giving up 36:00 Conviction, belief, and aligning your identity with your desired outcome   Quotables   “If you save money and don't invest it, you are guaranteed to lose money through inflation.”   “You are your own problem, therefore you are your own solution.”   “Your confusion, fear, and avoidance—not money itself—are the real enemy.”   Links The Roadmap to Financial Freedom https://budgetdogacademy.com/order-now   Budgetdog https://budgetdog.com/   Brennan Schlagbaum https://www.instagram.com/budgetdog

Send us a textHaving a great interest in mind control, I discovered Jason Christoff at NCI - National Citizens Inquiry - an amazing Canadian people-led group diving into what went wrong during Covid. The present theme and question is  Are children safe in Canada? (I spoke on the Flexner Report of 1920 in Edmonton in March 2025. The Flexner Report sabotaged our medical system by making our health care solely allopathic, excluding systems of medicine such as homeopathy, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic, midwifery and traditional  osteopathy.)         Jason has spoken on the subject of mind control at the US Senate and at the EU, Japanese and Romanian Parliaments. Jason operates an international psychological reprogramming institute where he teaches health professionals and members of the general public how to use positive forms of mind control, to make their lives (and the lives of their patients) better.Jason is set to release his first documentary titled PLANET MIND CONTROLthis fall, 2025. In order to win the battle we're all in today Jason believes that each citizen must educate on the basics, in relation to how mind control works and how to avoid becoming a victim of it.Victimhood is another topic I hope to discuss through this podcast as I regain equilibrium after my husband's death by medical error. To that end my one woman show will start off as a radio play. I hope to have it ready to air by October 2025.This journey of grieving has been intense and I want to thank so many- family, friends, strangers, new friends from Har El, the grief group out at N Van City Library as well as PJ and Beau for almost daily walks. And NCI for hope and strength to get our world on a better course. So much love, so much support has come my way...and I am sooo grateful.Jason grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia so this episode is dedicated to my cherished Maritime sisters and brothers and friends, who are confined by the ridiculous edict to not go into the woods today. Much love to all and please pray for attorney Reinier Fuellmich who is imprisoned in Germany for political reasons.Relevant books for this episode include: Rape of the Mind by Joost Merlo 1950s psychiatristAnything by Hannah Arendt, German Jewish American, probably the greatest philosopher of the 20th centuryEssays and books by Matthias Desmet, Belgian professor and Support the show#Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

The death of the mainstream media has emboldened far right charlatans Nick Cohen talks to author and journalist James Bloodworth about the evolving nature of politics and media in today's digital age. James explores how traditional media institutions are losing influence while online platforms and personalities mainly of the radical and far right have become more prominent, particularly noting how successful figures leverage algorithms and controversial content to gain attention.The strange death of the mainstream mediaJames Bloodworth discusses the changing media landscape, noting that traditional media outlets like newspapers and TV networks are losing relevance, especially among younger audiences. He observes that podcasts and social media have become more influential, with figures like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate gaining significant followings. Bloodworth explains that successful online personalities often understand algorithms and use outrageous statements to gain attention, both from supporters and critics.Victimhood is pay-dirt for online Radicalised RightJames Bloodworth says radical right figures are earning online fortunes with simple messaging, saying "You slowly learn that the nuanced articles don't get as many clicks and subscriptions, and people sending you money as the more inflammatory articles." He described figures such as Matthew Goodwin as "very obviously leaning into the white supremo types who give him money on his Substack." He adds, "I don't know how much of this stuff he actually believes, but he's willing to surf that wave because it because it seems to be making him quite a lot of money."Online far right wingers are guilty of bad faith & hypocrisy James says right wing charlatans are always banging on about free speech when it came to people jailed for inciting violence against immigrants like the wife of a Tory councillor, Lucy Connolly, while demanding the banning of pro-Palestinian protests. James adds, "I know there are people at those protests who have said anti-semitic things, and that there have been anti-semitic chants. But... there's a complete double standard. I think it's all bad faith, and I think the accusations, particularly against Keir Starmer of two-tiered justice, are completely absurd, considering he was involved in the prosecution of people following the 2011 riots."Read all about it!James Bloodworth, @J_Bloodworth, the author of The Lost Boys, A personal journey through the Manosphere published on June 5th by Atlantic Books.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock addresses claims that Shedeur Sanders is “being set up to fail,” as he is slated to start for the Browns tonight against the Panthers.

Guests Steve Kim and T.J. Moe join the show to weigh in on Sanders, injuries plaguing Colts QB Anthony Richardson, the ongoing sex-toy saga making a joke of the WNBA, and Dave Portnoy's latest eye-raising comments.

Could It Happen Anywhere? Listen to the rhythm of things that never die. —Mark Nepo, “For a Long Time” Worried about what was to come, I went to the river and listened to the constant song as water met stone, met log, met wall. The endless white hush of it. Song of building up banks. Song of tearing them down. Song of surrender to invisible force. Song of change that is ever the same and not the same. And in the listening, I found refuge—not in the longing to hide, not in the sound— I found refuge in the listening. Refuge in the opening of the senses. In attuning to what is here. Wave and current and eddy and flow and the attentiveness that lives through this woman. And I listened and listened, listened to it all, and was opened by listening. At some point the listener disappeared. What was left was listening itself. For a time, peace found me there. Intention To wonder. To wonder with no plan for where it might lead. No strategy for arrival. No finish line. No pot of gold. No perfect score. No striving for. To wonder. To wonder the way a small child might wonder when seeing a roly poly for the first time— oh, look at all those legs. Look at how it curls! Look how it moves again. Feel how light it is in the palm. Feel how it tickles as it moves. Imagine an awareness that new meeting a life form that old. Can I be that new as I meet this infinite world? To wonder not just with my mind but with my belly. To let every neuron spark. To notice where there is a channel and imagine the great wing of life is scraping it clean so the stream might flow in new ways. To wonder beyond the edge of the known, and in that spaciousness, play. —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer The listing of Chat GPT response to brutal truths: Here are five core truths about your own psychology that everyone must understand—or risk sabotaging their success, happiness, or relationships: ⸻ 1. You are not your thoughts. Your mind generates a constant stream of thoughts—some true, some false, some helpful, many harmful. If you believe every thought, especially negative self-talk, you'll: • sabotage goals, • erode self-esteem, • and avoid taking necessary risks. ✅ Learn to observe thoughts without obeying them. This is the root of emotional resilience. ⸻ 2. Your emotions are messengers, not dictators. Feelings like anger, fear, jealousy, or sadness carry signals—but they don't always point to truth or demand action. Avoiding or overreacting to emotions leads to: • impulsive decisions, • emotional burnout, • or constant anxiety. ✅ Name your emotions, listen to them, and respond—don't react blindly. ⸻ 3. You have unconscious patterns driving your behavior. Much of your personality and decision-making is shaped by: • childhood experiences, • unresolved trauma, • or defense mechanisms. Ignoring these patterns means you repeat them—even when they hurt you or others. ✅ Self-awareness requires digging into your past, habits, and triggers with honesty. ⸻ 4. Your brain is wired for comfort, not growth. Your mind naturally resists discomfort, uncertainty, or change—even when it's what you need. This resistance: • kills dreams, • prevents growth, • and reinforces stagnation. ✅ Discomfort is a sign you're on the edge of transformation. Don't run from it. ⸻ 5. You are responsible for your reactions—even when others hurt you. Blaming others or circumstances for how you feel or behave keeps you powerless. Psychological maturity means: • owning your choices, • setting boundaries, • and healing, not blaming. ✅ Victimhood might be justified, but it won't help you thrive. ⸻ Bottom Line: Mastering your psychology is not optional—it's the difference between drifting through life and designing it. If you don't do the work, your patterns will run you, and you'll wonder why life keeps turning out the same.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As you know by now, we're all about agency over victimhood around here. Too many of us as men adopt a poverty mentality when it comes to women, thinking that some other guy who won the proverbial 'genetic lottery' will get all the women instead of us. But ironically, many of us also believe in picking ourselves up by our bootstraps and taking personal responsibility when it comes to our education, our careers, and perhaps even our social lives outside of women. What's up with that? It's obviously a clash of incongruent mindsets, if not flat-out hypocrisy. How did so many of us get to that point? And more importantly, how do we get back on an even playing field with a consistent, winning mindset? Can you handle the truth? If so, check out the Substack channel at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/substack === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extemely effective...and actionable.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – In a discussion about homelessness, two callers talked about their experiences in the local shelters and getting off the streets. One thing they both mentioned: a mindset of victimhood that is prevalent among the shelter residents that traps them there and limits their ability to break free of the lifestyle.

The victim mentality has the power to leave you hopeless and helpless. How is the victim mentality influencing your life? Have you been the victim? Are others in your life playing the victim? Where is the victim mentality holding you hostage, parenthood, relationships, career? What is it? In a nutshell, a victim mentality is when someone blames others for their life experiences. In other words, they do not take ownership of, or responsibility for their decisions and actions that resulted in unfavorable circumstances. Experiencing it. If you are the person employing a victim mentality, you are blaming others for things in your life that you are unhappy with. Blaming equates to powerlessness. When you, or others in your life, do not take ownership and consistently blame others, you sacrifice the power to change your circumstances.  Additionally, a victim mentality is characterized by a lack of accountability for one's actions. Likewise, they do not adopt healthy coping mechanisms; instead, they blame others. This can be the result of trauma or past experiences, or it could be an intentional choice. Complaining is a symptom of victimhood, and people deny responsibility or ownership for their part in their circumstances. Blaming others, Satan, or God is quite common when someone chooses victimhood. Blame is the key ingredient of a victim mentality. I've recently heard an overwhelming number of people blame the devil for their current circumstances, be it relationships, financial insecurity, lack of success, emotional chaos within their families, or anxiety. When anyone gives Satan credit for their circumstances, they are rendering themselves powerless to him. Scripture verses that remind us that Satan has no authority over us: Luke 10:19 "See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you." 1 John 4:4 "Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." Colossians 1:13 "He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son," Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
