Have you ever stepped out in obedience to God, only to feel like life starts hitting you from every angle? In this episode of the Faithfully Empowered Podcast, Lisa Landry shares a candid look at a recent season of unexpected challenges — and the subtle spiritual battle that came with them.

Lisa shares her personal experiences with unexpected challenges and how spiritual attacks can often come disguised as logical doubts or fears. She discusses the importance of maintaining a close relationship with God to discern truth from lies, and offers encouragement for listeners facing resistance as they pursue their calling.

Key Points:

The enemy often tries to discourage us when we step out in obedience.

Spiritual attacks are subtle and can sound like our own thoughts.

Healthy boundaries are important, but the enemy can twist them into suspicion or defeat.

Staying close to God through prayer and scripture helps us recognize His voice and reject lies.

Quitting is not the answer—resistance can be confirmation that you’re on the right path.

If you’ve been tempted to quit what God called you to do, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone — and that your personal relationship with God is your greatest defense, discernment, and anchor in the storm.
