Have you ever realized that the pain you carry might be protecting you—but also holding you back? In this episode, Dana dives into how unresolved hurt can become armor, keeping us from fully embracing God’s love and grace. Drawing from personal experiences with judgment, gossip, and navigating post-divorce relationships, Dana shares how the Lord revealed hidden wounds, guided her to Isaiah 50:4-7, and showed her how to replace painful armor with a banner of His love. Learn practical ways to: Recognize where pain has become a defense mechanism in your life. Release offense and judgment from others. Stand strong in God’s grace and truth, even when others’ words sting. Cover yourself and others with God’s love instead of armor. If you’ve been carrying pain as a shield, this episode is a gentle, powerful reminder that God’s love heals, restores, and transforms.
