In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, Melissa Batt opens up about a surprising insecurity that surfaced while on vacation—and how God used it to reveal an area of brokenness He was inviting her to heal.

From feeling embarrassed about being a tourist to wrestling with the fear of trying something new, Melissa shares real-life moments, biblical encouragement, and practical steps to overcome perfectionism, insecurity, and fear of failure.

Stop putting it off for "someday." Start building your faith, your courage, and your trust in God today.
