Recognizing the Enemy

There are seasons when faith is not loud or triumphant—but quiet, trembling, and deeply tested. In this honest and hope-filled book, Olivia Bradford shares a personal journey through betrayal, discernment, and hard-won healing. When everything she believed about her life and marriage suddenly collapsed, she was forced to confront not only devastating truth, but the subtle ways fear, shame, and distorted thoughts take root during seasons of deep pain. This is not a story of sensational evil or dramatic spiritual battles. It is a testimony of learning to recognize lies, walk in truth, and choose faith in the midst of confusion. Through personal experience and Scripture-anchored reflection, Bradford offers clarity for those navigating betrayal, trauma, or spiritual uncertainty—and reassurance that healing is possible. Rather than offering quick answers, this devotional-style narrative invites readers into the sacred work of discernment and surrender, showing how God meets us not after the storm has passed, but right in the middle of it. This book is for those who: Have experienced betrayal or relational trauma Feel spiritually disoriented or wounded Are learning to discern truth amid confusion Long for healing without minimizing their pain Written with humility and compassion, this testimony reminds readers that even when trust is shattered, faith can be rebuilt—and no season of suffering is wasted in God's hands.
