In this episode…
Some days don’t fall apart quietly. They unravel all at once, leaving you wondering whether to push forward or walk away. In moments like that, how do you know if the resistance you feel is a sign to stop or a call to step deeper into God’s purpose?
For Dr. Kim Tran, the answer is clear: don’t let your emotions take the lead. She explains that in times of chaos, what feels overwhelming can actually be spiritual resistance trying to pull you off course, not a signal to quit. Instead of reacting to the noise, she encourages leaning into prayer, discernment, and alignment with God’s will, even when it feels uncomfortable. That shift in perspective turns moments of breakdown into opportunities for breakthrough.
In this episode of the Align & Abide podcast, Dr. Kim Tran discusses aligning with God’s purpose during a crisis. She explores discerning emotions versus spiritual truth, the role of prayer and fasting in spiritual battles, and how to step into your calling as a spiritual warrior. Dr. Tran also talks about praying in the Spirit and deepening your connection with God during challenging times.
