Priorities on Purpose: Get Out of Survival Mode, Eliminate Distractions, Find Your Focus, and Grow With Jesus

When You Can’t Hear from God: The Real Reason You’re Feeling Spiritually Stuck [Summer Throwback]


Listen Later

In this special summer throwback episode of Priorities on Purpose, Christian Life Coach Melissa Batt dives into the deeper reason so many women feel disconnected from God—and what to do about it. If you've been overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggling to hear God's voice, you're not alone… and you can get back on track.

Melissa shares personal reflections from a sugar fast and how it opened her ears to spiritual clarity like never before. She unpacks four powerful reasons you might be spiritually stuck—and reveals what it means to truly get your house in order (hint: it’s not just about your physical home).

This episode will challenge and encourage you to examine your relationship with God, your daily distractions, and your willingness to speak up when He nudges you. It's time to break survival mode, quiet the noise, and get back to the voice of truth.

Key Takeaways:

    Melissa connects her story (and yours) with Jeremiah’s calling—and what it looks like when God equips you to speak boldly even when you feel unqualified.

  • [29:30] - What Walls Are Missing in Your Life?

    The four “walls” God showed Melissa—faith, finances, health, and home—and why ignoring them leaves you vulnerable to distraction and attack.

  • [33:17] - Are You Pointing People to Jesus?

    Melissa challenges you to evaluate how you show up online and in person—and whether your life reflects the hope and clarity you’ve been given.
