- Fight the Urge to Comfort and Just Allow The Grieving to Suffer
Send us Fan Mail
I know it may sound completely counterintuitive to NOT comfort those who are grieving, but hear me out. In this episode, Lisa shares her own thoughts regarding the way Believers tend to step on the grief of others with more "comfort" than they can handle at that moment. Listen and see if you can relate.

Send us Fan Mail
Drama Queens like to play the victim. Doesn't matter if they're Christian or not. Their pain and suffering has to be bigger and more horrendous than anyone's in the room. What's the damage done by hanging onto their trauma? And, once the conviction leads us to the cross, should we walk in our guilt and shame forever, as if bearing a "scarlet letter" is an honor? Today Lisa reminds listeners that God has done something incomprehensible with our baggage. And answers the question, "Who's big enough to hold our guilt against us?"

Lisa would never imply that victims don't have the right to feel the pain they're experiencing. After all, she struggled herself for over 40 years to understand God had a plan and a purpose for the suffering in her past. But most victims don't just feel pain—they desire vengeance and to see their perpetrators suffer, as well. But do they really have some sort of supernatural "right" to feel the bitterness that drives them to rage, self-loathing and mistrust of their Heavenly Father? In this episode, Lisa shares her take on how God wants to use our surrendered rights to comfort others.

No matter who you are, everyone has felt slighted, ignored, uncherished and unappreciated at some point. How long should you sit feeling sorry for yourself; on the pitty pot, so to speak? Even if your feelings are justified, is there a better…more Biblical way to respond? And seriously…What Would Jesus Do?

In this episode, Lisa makes no bones about how broken victims need to quit believing they have a right to feel bitter and vengeful. Although a victim herself, she's not saying she knows how every victim feels after being abused, victimized, left with no justice. But the Word says that God is the One to repay. And what are Sisters missing out on by holding onto their pain and bitterness? Is it okay to want to stay in bondage after suffering?

Send us Fan Mail
If you listened to the episode published recently regarding Lisa's "church hurt" and her struggle to forgive those who call themselves, "Believers," you won't want to miss this episode; a part two, if you will. The Christian Drama Queen thought she'd make a deal with the Lord but deep down knew her heart wasn't in it. He forced her hand though, putting her face to face with the source of her bitterness. It was an awkward conversation, to say the least.

In this episode, Lisa shares the pain she experienced as a ten-year-old shrinking violet and how her earlier victimization at the hands of a child molester kept her feeling small and unprotected, to the point she allowed herself to be victimized over and over on a daily basis. Why didn't she fight back? Why did she think so little of herself? Was her "discarded daughter" status partially to blame? And what happened when the bully asked her to be his couple-skate partner?

Lisa admits in this episode that it seems to be much harder to forgive the believers who've hurt her than the pagans who have no idea what charity looks like. You might be surprised how much church hurt is floating around out there. And who's supposed to "make it right?"
Almost two decades since the pain was inflicted by the ministry her family was a part of...and it still hurts. Has she listened to her own teachings...and forgiven?Ready for some more Christian Drama Queen?

About The Diary of a Discarded Daughter - Offering Hope & Redemption Where Pain Once Ruled
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Diary of a Discarded Daughter, a Christian podcast about healing from childhood trauma, abandonment, abuse, rejection, and discovering who God really is in the middle of…
suffering.
Hosted by Lisa Schafer, founder of Christian Drama Queen Solutions, this podcast follows her forty-year journey through childhood sexual abuse, abandonment, betrayal, and the painful questions that often follow deep emotional wounds.
But this isn't simply a story about surviving trauma. It's the story of a forty-year battle to understand God.
After being abandoned and abused as a child, Lisa spent decades wrestling with questions many Christians quietly carry:
Where was God when I was being hurt?
Why didn't He stop it?
If God loves me, why did He allow it?
How can I trust a Heavenly Father when the people who were supposed to protect me failed me?
The wounds of her childhood shaped not only how she viewed herself, but how she viewed God. Pain, bitterness, fear, and unanswered questions distorted her understanding of His love, His character, and His purpose for her life.
Through years of searching, studying Scripture, wrestling with hard truths, and experiencing the healing power of Jesus Christ, Lisa discovered that God had never abandoned her. Instead, He was patiently renewing her mind, healing her heart, and teaching her to see both herself and Him through the truth of His Word rather than the lens of her trauma.
Each week, Lisa shares personal stories, biblical insights, practical encouragement, and lessons learned along the way as she helps listeners navigate their own healing journeys.
Topics include:
- Healing from childhood abuse and trauma
- Overcoming abandonment and rejection
- Forgiveness and freedom from bitterness
- Breaking generational cycles
- Healing father wounds
- Trusting God after suffering
- Understanding God's sovereignty in pain
- Discovering your identity in Christ
- Finding purpose in your wounds
- Emotional and spiritual healing through biblical truth
With raw honesty, heartfelt conversations, biblical wisdom, and occasional humor at her own expense, Lisa creates a space where women can stop pretending, start healing, and get honest about the wounds they've carried for far too long.
Whether you're struggling with trauma, wrestling with unanswered questions, battling bitterness, or searching for God's purpose in your pain, this podcast offers hope that healing is possible.
Not because the past changes. But because God changes us.
Grab your Bible, bring your questions, and join Lisa each week as she shares how God transforms discarded daughters into women who are healed, restored, and walking confidently in His purpose.
Because your wounds may explain your story—but they do not define it.
God gets the final word.
