## Resource

Do you feel pressured to "just move on" or "get over" past pains? In Part 3 of our series on the life of Hannah, John Giftah tackles a topic we often avoid: Dealing with Triggers. John explains that being a child of GOD doesn't mean you won't be triggered by certain dates, music, or even smells that remind you of a difficult season. Using the life of Hannah, he explores the two types of triggers she faced: the intentional taunting from her rival, Peninnah, and the unintentional reminders from her husband, Elkanah. Sharing vulnerably about his own 14-year journey in ministry, his wait as a Christian single, and the triggers he faced after a mass layoff, John reveals that the key isn't avoiding the trigger—it's what you do with it. If you’ve ever felt "sized up" by others or looked down on because of unanswered prayers, this message will help you turn your pain into fuel for prayer. Key Highlights: The Reality of Triggers: Why it’s okay to still feel the sting of the past. Intentional vs. Unintentional Triggers: Navigating the "Peninnahs" and "Elkanahs" in your life. Personal Reflections: John’s journey through job loss and "ministry plateaus." Hannah’s Pivot: How crying out to the LORD (verse 10) changes your countenance, even before your circumstances change.
