Priorities on Purpose: Get Out of Survival Mode, Eliminate Distractions, Find Your Focus, and Grow With Jesus

How to Embrace Rejection, Overcome Fear, and Live Victoriously with Tracey Mitchell [Summer Throwback]


Listen Later

Rejection doesn’t have to define you. In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, Melissa sits down with award-winning author Tracey Mitchell to talk about overcoming fear, finding courage, and cultivating a victorious life with Jesus at the center.

They dive into how God uses rejection as redirection, why courage is a choice, and how to move forward even when you're discouraged or tired of getting knocked down. Tracy shares her story of writing Becoming Brave in the middle of five life-altering tragedies—and how those painful moments turned into purpose.
