Episode 28: God Has Your Back - Remaining Anchored in God’s Truth After Covert Narcissistic Abuse

In this episode of Unseen but Not Untold, Dr. Christine C. Zacharia, MD, covert narcissistic abuse recovery expert and board-certified endocrinologist, discusses trusting in God's timing and remaining anchored in His truth during the wilderness season that follows covert narcissistic abuse recovery. Drawing from Scripture, personal experiences and lessons learned throughout her own wilderness season, Dr. Zacharia explores the challenges of divine timing. She discusses surrendering control, breaking cycles of hyper-independence and learning to discern God's voice from deception. She also examines how God uses seasons of uncertainty to prepare His chosen ones for their purpose. This episode highlights Jesus' wilderness testing, David's redirected plans for building a temple, the Parable of the Sower and Paul's faith in prison. Dr. Zacharia explains why identity must be rooted in Christ rather than outcomes. She also explores two unique symbols—the parrot and the Tibetan snow lion—to illustrate spiritual formation, courage and stability during uncertain seasons. If you have been questioning God's timing, wondering why your purpose seems delayed or struggling to trust His plan when the path ahead is unclear, this episode offers biblical reflection and encouragement. Dr. Zacharia reminds listeners that the wilderness season is not wasted space. It is a place of preparation, refinement and deeper dependence on God.

Episode 27: The Covert Narcissist Targeted You Because of God’s Light Within You - It’s Time to Walk in Your Divine Authority

In this episode of Unseen but Not Untold, Dr. Christine C. Zacharia, MD, board-certified endocrinologist and covert narcissistic abuse recovery expert, explores what it means to embrace your God given authority in your divine purpose. Dr. Zacharia reflects on leaving her career in endocrinology to fully step into the calling God placed on her life. One she did not see coming and how she came to embrace the authority God gave her despite initial feelings of imposter syndrome. She also shares a powerful reflection on Michael Jackson, discussing how his music, humility, creativity and global impact reflected his role as God's chosen one as well. She examines how his life serves as a modern example of someone who fully embodied the gifts God gave him despite opposition and misunderstanding. Dr. Zacharia also highlights the stories of Joshua as a reminder that God often calls those who feel overlooked, hidden or unqualified — and strengthens them through obedience, faith and refinement. This conversation is ultimately about reclaiming your identity, standing firmly in God’s truth and understanding that what the covert narcissist tried to destroy within you is the exact gift the world needs most right now.

Episode 24: Life After Covert Narcissistic Abuse - Rediscovering the Wonder of God Within Us and Around Us

In this episode of Unseen but Not Untold, Dr. Zacharia, integrative covert narcissistic abuse recovery expert and board-certified endocrinologist, explores wonder and what it means to rediscover it after covert narcissistic abuse. Through personal reflection and spiritual insight, she shares how survivors move out of survival mode and emotional constriction into a life where awareness expands and the ability to fully experience life begins to return. Healing becomes not just leaving the abuse behind but reclaiming curiosity, stillness and a sense of vitality. She reflects on wonder found in both extraordinary and everyday moments, from the vastness of space to the quiet details of nature and daily life. Through her travel experiences, including her first solo trip abroad, she shares how these moments gave her reprieve and reminded her of the sweetness of doing nothing—dolce far niente—opening the door to a deeper sense of wonder she would later experience while walking in her divine purpose. Drawing from Scripture, Dr. Zacharia highlights a few of the many moments in the Bible where people were left in a state of wonder through the miracles and intercessions God performed on their behalf. Using the symbolism of the owl and the feather, she highlights two expressions of wonder. For those healing after covert narcissistic abuse, this episode is a reminder that wonder is not lost. It is further amplified as you heal, bringing a renewed sense of peace, clarity and connection to God in both profound and simple moments.
