Was That the Enemy or God? Triggers, Fear, and How God Healed What Still Hurt [Summer Throwback]


Listen Later

In this unfiltered Summer Throwback episode of Priorities on Purpose, Christian Life Coach and Faith Mentor Melissa Batt opens up about a painful trigger that uncovered a deep, hidden fear—and how God used it for healing.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your pain is spiritual warfare, discipline, or the result of fear creeping in, you’re not alone. Melissa vulnerably walks through what started as a moment at church and ended with a powerful revelation in her quiet time with God.

This episode is for the woman who feels stuck in fear, misunderstood, or unsure whether she’s being attacked or lovingly corrected by God. It’s real talk on how the fear of being misunderstood can keep you in hiding—and how God gently calls us out of it to heal and restore.
