Loving God, your neighbor (including enemies), and yourself

In this episode of Priorities On Purpose, Christian Life Coach and Faith Mentor, Melissa discusses the importance of loving oneself and one's neighbors, as commanded by Jesus in the Bible. She also encourages listeners to assess how well they are loving God and others and to journal about it for self-reflection. Melissa emphasizes that loving oneself is not about self-indulgence but about self-care and kindness. She also challenges listeners to love their neighbors, regardless of differences, and to remember that everyone has a purpose. She shares personal experiences of struggling to forgive and love those who have wronged her, and the realization that her actions could either help or hinder their relationship with God. Melissa concludes by urging listeners to step out of their comfort zones, as it can lead to personal and spiritual growth.
 
Bible verses discussed (NIV translation): 

Matthew 22: 35-40 

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And, the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." 
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

The love audit: How do you measure up?

In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, Christian Life Coach and Faith Mentor, Melissa Batt discusses the importance of loving others as described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. According to scripture, love should be patient, kind, not envious or boastful, not proud, not dishonoring others, not self-seeking, not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. She suggests that these characteristics should define our love for others if we consider ourselves Christians and Jesus followers.
 
How do you measure up when it comes to loving others? Listen in and take the love audit self-assessment mentioned in this episode and be comforted knowing you aren't alone. Melissa shares some of her struggles and experiences including overcoming fear and confronting trauma. Also, remember to pray and ask God for help in areas where you struggle to measure up. In our weaknesses, God wants to show up. Let Him.

Season 2 Coming Soon

Welcome to Season 2, friends. We made it! And, I’m happy to share that we are niching down and moving out of business coaching. For those who have been around the longest, you may know that life coaching is where my passion truly is. And, while I will still be coaching a few direct sellers, they already know my holistic approach to make sure their main priorities aren’t neglected for the sake of sales, titles, and incentive trips.
This season on the podcast will be full of honest conversations and lots of heart-to-heart talks as we chat about all things life, mental health, and pursuing Jesus. We will definitely be continuing the conversation about Circling the Wagon and Living on Purpose.
We will do a few deep dives on what it means to be triggered, how to become ‘un’ triggered, how to set healthy boundaries, how to deal with conflict when you want to run the other way, and my PERSONAL struggles and convictions around ‘sober living’.  Oh, and one more thing… You can count on lots of sharing of raw journal entries that leave me feeling a bit exposed but may help you grow in your own personal relationship with Jesus. 
Are you ready for this adventure? Buckle up, buttercup. Season 2 is going to be a wild ride!

Conquer your insecurities and grow your confidence

Have you set some big goals for yourself this year but are having trouble getting started or getting derailed from the habits you want to start or end? Do you think you may be holding yourself back from your true potential? So many of us fall prey to these misconceptions and most of us do it without even realizing it.  
 
Misconception #1 - You have to be perfect to succeed.
Misconception #2 - Someone else can do it better than you. 
Misconception #3 - Success means never feeling self-doubt.  
 
But the truth is, you don't have to be perfect, there is room for you even when others are also doing it, and self-doubt is 100% normal.
 
As a Christian Life & Business Coach for women & direct sellers, I'm here to share with you the real truth - and help you silence your inner mean girl once and for all.
In this episode, you will be challenged to:
• Silence your inner critic and transform your mindset by reversing negative thoughts aka FLIP THE SCRIPT.

• Own your quirks and insecurities as tools to connect you to others and remain relatable

• Trust God to use all of you- the good, the bad, the ugly!
  
Your purpose and plan has the power to impact more than just yourself. It isn't about you. -Melissa Batt
 
Other Tips:
• Consider hiring a coach for personalized and focused accountability to help you reach your goals.

• Cut out Bible verses related to your insecurities and post them in visible places as reminders of God's love and purpose for you.

• Call out your insecurities and address them if you feel shame around them. The enemy can't use what you bring into the light. 

• Speak out about the things that the devil wants to keep you silent in and acknowledge the elephants.

• Follow Melissa Batt Coaching on Instagram for daily inspiration and tips.
  
Giving Yourself Permission to Be You

Embracing our true selves, quirks, and all, is essential for personal growth and achieving true sustainable success. By permitting ourselves to be authentic and unique, we can harness our individual strengths and stand out in the crowd. In this episode, I share my personal journey to self-acceptance and want you to do the same.
In doing so, we can channel our unique abilities to truly live in the purpose God has for us and create a massive impact.

Stop Chasing Shiny Things & Get Laser Focused

Hi friends, I’m resharing one of my straight fire episodes because I think it’s so timely as the new year kicks off. We have these God-given dreams and goals, but we might be scared to start or we keep getting distracted and derailed.
In this episode, I talk through three key things I believe have helped me achieve my dreams of being a successful life and business coach. When I started dreaming of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, I didn't even know it was possible to get paid to coach women. Three years later and here I am as a Christian Life & Business Coach, living out my dream AND getting paid for it. Every time I say it, I'm left in awe of how cool my God is! {Won't He do it?!!! Yes, He will!}
Check out this episode to hear about the three things I have done to get to where I am today.
I discuss: 
1. How to stay focused 
2. How to create a battle plan
3. Why it’s important to invest in your dream.

Break Free from Mental and Physical Clutter in the New Year

The new year is often a time for us to reevaluate our priorities, removing what is no longer working for us and adding new habits, as we start fresh for the new year. As you may know, I recently moved and am still going through the process of settling in. Moving also forces us to reevaluate the stuff of our lives, both physically and mentally as we move to a new place and space. In this super valuable and timely conversation I had with former coaching client, Susan Thrasher, we talk about how flipping the script will give you so much opportunity to change your life and what an impact this has had on Susan's life. In this episode, you will learn more about: • Decluttering your physical space and experience the positive impact it has on your overall well-being. • Finding healing and learning to let go. • Journaling for self-reflection and personal growth, leading to a deeper understanding of yourself and your goals.     The clutter in your mind spills out into your world. Clear the clutter out of your mind, clear the clutter out of your house, and be clear and open to share the light and love that you are meant to be sharing. - Susan Thrasher     Coaching women in life is my passion! I'd love to offer you a free consult to see if working together could be beneficial for you. You don't have to know what you need help with, you just have to book the call. It takes courage. Just DO IT. Want to work with me in January? I'd love to help you!

New Year, New Goals

Does this sound familiar? You set goals for yourself, but no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to achieve them. You've been told that the key to success is simply setting goals, but you're feeling the pain of disappointment when those goals remain out of reach. It's time to uncover the missing element that no one told you about: aligning your personal desires and values. In this episode, we'll explore the importance of synchronizing your ambitions with your convictions. Get ready to break free from the cycle of unfulfilled goals and discover the true path to achievement.
In this episode, you will be challenged to:
Stop flying by the seat of your pants so you can be more intentional
Align your personal ambitions and convictions with the goals you set
No longer allow other people's expectations to define the goals you set
Set goals you actually want to achieve
Be courageous and share your dreams with someone you trust for accountability
Recognize your excuses so you can flip the script and overcome them
If that's not God's plan for you, it's okay if you don't want it. It doesn't mean you suck. It doesn't mean  you're a failure. It just means you are called for something else, and that's okay. - Melissa Batt Coaching
