59. Avoiding Failure - Survival Mode Isn't Just Painful...It's Disobedience!

Have you ever considered that staying stuck in survival mode after domestic violence isn’t just painful—it’s disobedience?
In this episode, we dive deep into Isaiah 30:1, where God warns against making plans outside of His will. If we allow the effects of domestic violence to keep us from our God-given purpose, we are aligning with the enemy’s lies instead of stepping into the freedom God has for us.
What’s at stake if we don’t take action? The risk isn’t just personal—it’s generational. If we don’t break free, our children may never see what walking in healing and purpose truly looks like.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why purpose is not optional—it’s a divine assignment. (Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10)
How survival mode keeps us trapped in the enemy’s cycle instead of God’s plan. (John 10:10)
Why disobedience brings bondage, but obedience brings freedom. (James 4:17)
How to step out of fear and into faith so you can fully embrace God’s calling.
Your Next Step:
Start aligning your plans with God's plans!!!
