It is human nature to experience rejection and think something is wrong with us because of another person’s choice, but my hope is that we will begin to seek God for wisdom on how to make rejection serve his purpose for us. And, today, I am joined by my good friend and special guest, Christine Caine, whose entire life is a case study in how to do this with grace.

When rejection first happens, the pain is so visceral that it’s almost impossible to imagine anything good coming out of it. But, today, I am joined by special guest, Dr. Dharius Daniels, who is going to help all of us see how, in the hands of God, rejection positions you for purpose.

I can tell you without a doubt that my new book, The Gift of Rejection, is the most important book I’ve ever written. And I believe it will be one of the most important books you will ever read because you will never experience the fullness of joy and purpose that God has for you when you are carrying rejection wounds. 

You can say, “I’m over it” all you want to, but the fact of the matter is that rejection hurts. And, if we were honest, many of us are still bitter because we were abandoned, or humiliated, or left out, or blamed, or criticized by someone we had hoped accepted us. But, today, I want to invite you to go with me as I share how I have been able to get free from rejection pain; both past and present.

No matter how psychologically or emotionally strong you may think you are, rejection hurts. And it hurts because we only experience rejection when we thought we were accepted. So, when rejection happens, it doesn’t just injure our pride, it breaks our heart and shatters our hope.

Today, I want to talk about the ways rejection expresses itself through us; some ways are subtle and some ways are overt, but the bottom line is that rejection is not something you just “get over.” It is something you have to work through. I want to first tell you about me.

I recently spoke with several single friends and colleagues who shared their frustration at the state of the dating pool. Some of them had thought they found their person, only to get rejected by the person. Others have simply stopped dating altogether after racking up more rejections and disappointments than they can count.

All of them expressed discouragement and confusion by what seemed like relationship dead-end after relationship dead-end. But, what if their dead-ends… were actually detours? And, what if those detours ended up saving them from a future they would regret? In God’s hands rejection is often protection. Let’s talk about it.

Rejection taught me to see myself as disposable. It taught me to see myself as unworthy and, because of that, there have been times in my life when I’ve settled for being treated in ways that are beneath what my humanity deserves. So, this season we’re going deep into the choppy waters of rejection and today I want to start by sharing the revelation that actually set me down this path a little more than a year ago.

What do you do when you start to feel uncomfortable in something and sense God may be calling you to leave it, but it’s all you know? Maybe it’s a long-term relationship that isn’t growing with you, or maybe it’s a city you no longer feel you should live in, or maybe it’s a job you feel you’ve outgrown. How do you discern the voice of God from your personal fears or desires? Today, I want to talk about how I have learned to hear the voice of God when he called me to resign from two jobs I loved.

The term “narcissist” has entered popular culture over the last few years thanks to the work of psychologists like Dr. Ramini and her powerful podcast called Navigating Narcissism. There have also been a number of self-aware narcissists who have created platforms to share their experiences to help people who have been dealing with narcissists heal. 

Today, I want to shed light on how being raised by a narcissistic parent or parents can prime us to fall victim to a narcissist later in life. And I want to talk about this because… it happened to me.

You have probably heard the statistic that 50% of marriages end in divorce. It’s a grim number, but that doesn’t seem to be stopping people from getting married. 

Instagram is overflowing with photos of stunning weddings at exclusive locations, featuring couture gowns, and opulent parties. But, after the fairy dust settles, research shows that 72% of couples run into difficulty in marriage because they didn’t understand what a lifelong marriage really requires before tying the knot. 

Today I’m joined by my husband to share what we’ve learned after twenty years of marriage. The good. The bad. The ugly.
