Trauma opens the door to many spiritual things like fear, anxiety, and panic attacks. Most podcasts teach how to manage these symptoms and don’t solve the problem. Hi friend, my name is Melania Macias, but you can call me Coach Mel; it’s easier. =) I am the wife of a wonderful husband of 17 years, a mom to two beautiful children, and a lover of God and the Word of God. I’ve been coaching for nearly a decade, helping women understand the spiritual effects of trauma. Now, the Lord has called me to help parents help their children who have gone through trauma. My authority in this arena came from being neglected as a child by my parents, mentally abused, and molested. The Lord took me on a learning journey. Because the trauma in my childhood brought on severe anxiety, fear, and panic attacks in my adult life, the Lord began revealing that this was more spiritual, and I had become oppressed by demons that were causing these things. I then started learning how to break free. Now I teach others how to do the same and more. In this podcast, I will teach you: - How God delivered me of trauma, anxiety, extreme fear, and extreme panic - How it is possible that you can be saved and still can be oppressed - How trauma opens the door to oppression - How to recognize the spirit of fear, anxiety, and panic And much more! This is a podcast like no other. What I will teach will not be something you’ve never heard in Church or Sunday school, yet it’s Biblical! I pray this blesses you!
