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

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.
