Send a text“Am I too broken to be used by God?” If you’re battling depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, navigating neurodivergence, or even just struggling to get through daily tasks, you’ve probably asked yourself that same question.I’ve wrestled with it too... feeling like my weaknesses and struggles disqualified me from being useful in God’s Kingdom.In this episode, I share my personal journey of striving, burnout, and reaching the end of myself. What I discovered is that God doesn’t ask us to perform or prove ourselves even when we’re well-intentioned in our desire to please Him, He takes our brokenness - the very things we want to hide - and redeems them as a stage for His glory.If you’ve ever felt like your mental health struggles or weaknesses make you “too much” or “not enough” for God, this conversation will remind you of His power, His presence, and His ability to use your story for His glory. All it takes is your surrender to Him without shame.✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:Why nothing can disqualify you from God’s purposeHow striving to “be enough” can get in the way of God’s graceThe beauty of crawling to God and watching Him work through weaknessThis is… Real Emotions, Real Healing, Real Jesus.🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss future episodes. 🎁 Sign up for my FREE mini-course on how to process your emotions God's way - without shutting down or spiraling. 📞 Book a FREE discovery call to explore 1:1 coaching with me! 📧 Join my weekly newsletter "Holy Unraveling" for Christian emotional healing encouragement in your inbox. ▶️ Follow me on Instagram @melchanity and Youtube @melissachancoaching for more encouragement and resources.
