54. The Real Reason You're Stuck – Exposing the Villain in Your Story

Every hero faces an obstacle—and every story has a villain. If you’ve ever felt trapped in survivor mode, unable to step into the calling God has placed on your life, you’re not alone. But the reason you feel stuck might not be what you think.
In this episode, we uncover the real battle keeping you from moving forward. The enemy—the devil—wants to steal your identity, kill your purpose, and destroy your hope (John 10:10). But God has called you to more than just survival.
We’ll break down:🔹 The external challenge: Your past experience with domestic violence.🔹 The internal struggle: Knowing you’re called by God but feeling stuck.🔹 The philosophical truth: God does not want His daughters in survivor mode.
The lies of the enemy will keep you bound, but God’s truth sets you free. Join me as we identify these lies, replace them with scripture, and prepare to move from survival to PURPOSE.

50. Let's Talk About HOPE

In this episode of PURPOSE After DV, we explore the profound truth about hope as described in Scripture.
Far from being wishful thinking or blind optimism, biblical hope is a gift from God, poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, and an anchor that keeps us steady in life’s storms.
Whether you’re in a season of struggle or simply seeking encouragement, this episode will help you anchor your soul in God’s promises.
Key Scriptures from Today’s Episode:
Romans 15:13 – "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
Hebrews 6:19 – "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
Highlights and Takeaways:
Hope as a Gift: God, as the "God of hope," fills us with joy and peace as we trust in Him, making hope a divine gift rather than something we have to create on our own.
Hope as an Anchor: Just as an anchor steadies a ship in a storm, hope keeps us grounded in God’s promises, no matter how chaotic life feels.
The Role of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit empowers us to abound in hope, even when circumstances feel hopeless.
