Podcasts about Rejected

Have you ever been treated badly for doing the right thing? In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer reminds us that rejection is not new for followers of Jesus. In today's Gospel, people are so angry with Jesus that they try to throw Him off a cliff. Later, He will be mocked, scourged, and crucified.   Throughout history, the saints and martyrs have suffered for living the truth of the Gospel. If you've ever been rejected, misunderstood, or treated poorly because of your faith—you're not alone. Today is a new day. A new week. A chance to recommit to the life God is calling you to live. Keep going. Be the saint God created you to be.

Doelgerig - Deel 7 - Lewe Met Die Ewigheid In Gedagte - Tjaart Olivier (Piketberg) by GraceLife Podcast

The True Light has come into the World. Rejected by the world. Rejected by His own people. How will you receive Him?

Have you ever felt rejected? From a job… A relationship… A team… Even your own family? Rejection can leave deep wounds in our hearts. But the Gospel reminds us of a powerful truth: “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” Your past does not define you. Your worst day does not define you. You are a son or daughter of God, loved and chosen by Him. Watch today's reflection in Rise Up – Day 17 and remember who you truly are. #RiseUp #Lent #Catholic #ChildOfGod #Faith #CatholicFaith #DailyGospel #ChristianHope

What about the Jews who rejected Christ—has God broken His promises? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten unpack Romans 9, diving into the doctrine of election, the distinction between ethnic Israel and true Israel, and Paul's anguished heart for his kinsmen. They tackle the potter and clay, Pharaoh's hardening, and why God's sovereign choice never undermines human responsibility or His faithfulness. If God elects some and not others, what does that mean for hope, prayer, and unity in the church today?We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.

KISS - Part 6 - Living Billboards - Ettienne Willemse (Tygerberg) by GraceLife Podcast

Dan & Manny put the 2003 Spike TV classic MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “Everyone dies or has diarrhea after this show [...] They're throwing up [...] things are coming outta their nose, their eyes [...] I hope there's a medic. They should have had [...] a part of a show where they showed [contestants] being wrapped up.” -Manny   This episode is just as unhinged as the show itself, which says a lot about how out of bounds MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge) was in 2003. Dan & Manny watch one episode from three different seasons for this test, and unfortunately, they are without Billy on this one, but he does make a special texting appearance later, so all those Billy fans will get their fix. Dan & Manny try to figure out once and for all if this show was just a bunch of captive human beings trying to make their way home, is this show racist, why was there such a dubbing craze in the early 2000s, Spike TV being okay with low budget nonsense, and so much more. The main question about MXC, did anyone die during the making? So, get out your chain wallets, put a short-sleeved shirt over a long-sleeved shirt, crack open a Sprite Remix, and “DON'T GET ELIMINATED!” This is a fun one.

This Day in Legal History: Tenth Circuit ActOn March 3, 1863, Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1863, quietly reshaping the structure of the United States Supreme Court in the middle of the Civil War. The Act increased the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to ten. This expansion created an additional seat that President Abraham Lincoln could fill at a critical moment in the nation's history. Lincoln soon appointed Justice Stephen J. Field to occupy the new position.The timing of the law was not accidental. The country was deeply divided, and major constitutional questions about executive power, wartime authority, and civil liberties were moving through the courts. By enlarging the Court, Congress ensured that Lincoln would have greater influence over the judiciary's direction. Although altering the size of the Court was constitutional, it carried clear political implications.The Constitution does not fix the number of Supreme Court justices. Instead, Congress has authority to determine the Court's size through legislation. This structural flexibility has allowed lawmakers to adjust the Court in response to political and practical concerns. The Judiciary Act of 1863 stands as one example of how institutional design can intersect with national crisis.The legal element worth highlighting is Congress's constitutional power to set the size of the Supreme Court. Article III establishes the Court but leaves its structure largely to Congress. This separation of powers detail is significant because it shows that the judiciary's composition is not self-defining. I chose this element because it explains how a simple statute, passed during wartime, could alter the balance of influence within the highest court in the country without amending the Constitution.The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over whether a federal law prohibiting illegal drug users from possessing firearms violates the Second Amendment. The case arose after federal prosecutors charged Ali Hemani, a Texas resident who admitted to regular marijuana use, with unlawful gun possession under the Gun Control Act. A lower court dismissed the charge, and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision, concluding there was no historical basis for disarming a sober person who was not under the influence at the time of possession.The Justice Department, under President Donald Trump, appealed to the Supreme Court. The administration argued that the restriction is comparable to 19th-century laws that allowed authorities to disarm habitual drunkards. Hemani, supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, countered that regular marijuana users are not historically analogous to those groups and that the statute is too vague because it does not clearly define who qualifies as an “unlawful user.”The dispute comes as the Court continues to apply the history-focused test it announced in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which requires modern gun regulations to align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. The case also echoes the 2024 conviction of Hunter Biden under the same statute, though he was later pardoned. With a 6–3 conservative majority, the Court has recently taken an expansive view of gun rights and is weighing multiple challenges to firearm regulations.US Supreme Court scrutinizes gun ownership ban for illegal drug users | ReutersA recent policy shift by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has given public companies greater control over which shareholder proposals appear on annual meeting ballots. In November, the agency stopped its long-standing practice of having staff formally review and approve companies' decisions to exclude certain proposals. Instead, corporate executives now have more discretion to determine what goes into proxy statements.Investor advocates say the change has created confusion and weakened shareholder rights, especially in disputes involving environmental, social, and governance issues. The new approach has already led to lawsuits against companies including PepsiCo, AT&T, and Axon Enterprise. In several instances, companies initially declined to include shareholder proposals but reversed course after being sued. For example, PepsiCo agreed to allow a vote on an animal-welfare proposal shortly after litigation was filed. AT&T similarly settled a lawsuit brought by New York City pension funds by permitting a vote on workforce diversity disclosures.Other disputes remain pending, including a case against Axon over a proposal related to political contributions. Activists argue that without clearer guidance from regulators, shareholders must turn to the courts to protect their ability to file resolutions. Despite concerns that the rule change would dramatically increase exclusions, early data suggests companies have blocked proposals at roughly the same rate as in prior years.Trump's SEC gave companies more power over investors. Lawsuits pushed them back | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from computer scientist Stephen Thaler, leaving intact a lower court ruling that works created solely by artificial intelligence are not eligible for copyright protection. The decision lets stand a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that agreed with the U.S. Copyright Office that only human authors can register copyrighted works.Thaler sought protection for a two-dimensional image titled “A Recent Entrance to Paradise,” which was generated by his AI system known as the Creativity Machine. He argued that the Copyright Act does not explicitly require human authorship and that the agency improperly read that limitation into the statute. The D.C. Circuit rejected that claim, reasoning that multiple provisions of the law assume an author is a human being, particularly sections dealing with lifespan and inheritance rights.Thaler also contended that, as the system's owner and programmer, he should qualify for copyright under work-for-hire principles or property law concepts. The government responded that a valid work-for-hire arrangement requires a written agreement and cannot apply to a nonhuman creator. This dispute echoes Thaler's earlier, unsuccessful effort to secure patent rights for an AI-generated invention, which the Supreme Court also declined to review in 2023.Justices Reject Appeal Over Copyright For AI-Created Art - Law360 This is a public episode.

Hello to you listening in Auckland, New Zealand! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate  Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. As the oldest of 7 children I learned early on the innate wisdom toddlers bring to the game of life. They know how to say No! And then the world shows them the error of their ways. We grow up saying Yes when we mean No! What changed? We were taught that saying Yes is right, good, proper, helpful even and saying No! is just plain wrong. The problem is the more we say Yes when we mean No we forget how to make choices in our own best interest and well-being. This self-sabotage robs us of our ability to choose wisely, of our personal power, of our legitimate right to say No! with certainty, confidence, and clarity. Of course, there's nothing wrong with saying Yes so long as we agree with ourselves, are not limited in our options, feeling compelled, or thinking we will be rejected or worse.  It takes practice to practice saying No! As you get better at it you will come to value saying what you mean and meaning what you say.   Practical Tip: When asked to take on work you want to decline, say this, “No. It's good work; but it's not my work.” And thank you for listening!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

What if the most dangerous opposition to your destiny doesn't come from enemies… but from people who love you? In this episode, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks one of the most misunderstood and intense moments in Scripture — when Jesus turned to Peter and said: “Get thee behind me, Satan.” — Matthew 16:23 (KJV) Why would Jesus call His closest disciple Satan? Was Peter possessed? Rebuked? Rejected? Or was something deeper happening? This episode explores the psychological, spiritual, and warfare dimensions of that confrontation. We examine how suggestion can function as strategy, how fear can masquerade as protection, and how even spiritually mature voices can unintentionally resist divine timing. You will discover: • Why the cross was the real target • How warfare often sounds reasonable • The difference between identity and alignment • Why Jesus corrected sharply but restored fully • How to discern when a voice is speaking from heaven — or from human emotion We also connect this moment to the wilderness temptation in Matthew 4 and explore how consistent spiritual strategies attempt to detour purpose rather than destroy it. This is not about labeling people as devils. It is about recognizing adversarial alignment. If you are navigating leadership, calling, relationships, or moments where obedience costs more than comfort, this episode will sharpen your discernment and strengthen your resolve. Because sometimes “Get behind me” is not rejection. It is repositioning.

Pastor Darrell preached on Luke 23:26-38. Jesus is our one true God and King, and is the King who is rejected.

Join us as we look closely at the final moments of Saul's leadership over Israel. As his desire for God's blessing over his rule grows, Saul begins to dismiss the call to full obedience to the Lord, and his leadership ultimately moves toward defeat. Speaker: Brad Bell

What if rejection isn't the end of your story—but the beginning of God's greater purpose? In "Rejected Stones," Rev. Vicki Harrison reminds us that Jesus, the rejected stone, became the cornerstone. Watch the full service video below or listen to the sermon audio and discover how God builds through what others overlook.

Why did people reject the very Messiah they had been waiting for? Isaiah 53 reveals three shocking reasons that still cause people to miss Jesus today. Could you be making the same mistake they did 2,000 years ago?

A brilliant pre-med student. 521 MCAT — 98th percentile. 4.0 GPA. Published research. Primary author. Rejected by ten medical schools. If that résumé isn't good enough, what is?On The Real Story, I examine how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are reshaping medical school admissions. Across the country, schools describe “holistic review,” equity mandates, and diversity goals as central to their mission. Academic metrics are no longer the primary standard and that merit is being subordinated to ideology.We break down AAMC data, LCME accreditation shifts, pass/fail grading trends, and looming physician shortages. Medicine is not a sociology lab. When you're on an operating table, credentials matter. Excellence is not negotiable.

Advancing America's Freedom's Amy Swearer joins Cam to discuss her testimony in opposition to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's gun and magazine bans, which were defeated in a House committee Tuesday afternoon.

1 Chronicles 19 tells the story of David's attempt to show kindness to the king of Ammon, which is tragically misunderstood and insulted. David's servants are humiliated, and what could have been peace turns into conflict. The Ammonites then hire mercenaries, and a battle follows, where Israel—under Joab and Abishai—stands firm and wins because the Lord is with them. This chapter reminds us that good intentions can be misread, but God remains faithful to those who walk in integrity. When trust is broken and conflict arises, courage, unity, and reliance on God still bring victory.

In this week's episode, I'm joined again by Robin Taylor, who shares a powerful perspective that has shaped both her healing journey and her ministry: "If a flower doesn't bloom, don't blame the flower. Change the flower's environment." Growing up surrounded by domestic violence and rejection led her to believe she was unworthy of love and commitment. Those early wounds deeply impacted how she viewed herself and her relationships, reinforcing shame and insecurity that followed her into adulthood. But her story did not end there. Robin recounts how coming to know God as her Ideal Parent transformed her understanding of her worth and identity. Through His relentless pursuit and tender care, the broken places in her heart began to mend, and shame started to lose its grip. Today, she carries that same hope to others who feel rejected or abandoned, pointing them toward the relational healing found in both healthy community and God's faithful love. Her testimony is honest, redemptive, and deeply encouraging for anyone longing to believe they are truly valued.   Connect with Robin:  https://Robin@timetobloom.online/ Standard "Our Time to Bloom" Membership: Sunday Morning "Princess with a Crooked Crown" Live broadcast via the app (8am EST, then available as a recording) Monday's Morning Cup of Grace Devotional Community membership and posts Premium "Our Time to Bloom" Membership Everything above God's Design: Domestic Violence Recovery Class 4 pre-recorded video lessons Workbook 30 day follow up journal 4 live Q and A sessions a month ( available recorded if missed) Messaging The "standard" membership is $10.95 per month The Premium membership that includes the recovery course is $79 I am giving away 5 of these for your listeners with the code: BRFREE The link for the free code is https://withme.so/mytimetobloom?promo_code=BRFREE The link for the app itself is: https://withme.so/mytimetobloom   To inquire about counseling, email Louise at Louise@louisesedgwick.com.  

On Feb. 24, 1865, Kentucky's General Assembly voted against ratifying the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States. Although the state remained in the Union during the Civil War, slavery continued there until the amendment became law later that year. Kentucky did not officially ratify the amendment until 1976.

Prince Harry reportedly attempted to reopen communication with Prince William through a trusted intermediary, but according to Omid Scobie the outreach led nowhere, leaving the “stone wall” between the brothers firmly intact. The renewed tension revisits claims from Spare, where Harry described a physical confrontation in 2019 — an account sources close to William continue to dispute. Meanwhile, Prince William is positioning himself as a leading voice on mental health, calling male suicide in the United Kingdom a “real national catastrophe” and urging men to speak more openly about their emotions. In a separate announcement, the Prince of Wales confirmed that the 2026 Earthshot Prize will be held in Mumbai, awarding $1 million each to five environmental innovators as he doubles down on his climate legacy.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

This is part 2 of 3 talks by Dr. Nathan Jacobs about the "nones", the religiously unaffiliated, a group that has grown dramatically over the past two decades. In this talk, Nathan Jacobs argues that many who leave are not rejecting God, per se, but a particular vision of God shaped by Western theological developments. Exploring themes like grace, freedom, divine goodness, fatalism, and anthropology, he contrasts key Western trajectories with the vision of the Eastern Church Fathers. The result is a compelling case that Orthodoxy does not suppress the moral and spiritual intuitions of today's seekers — it fulfills them.Watch part 1: The Modern Religious Debate Lost Its Audience: https://youtu.be/vun_XtxDt5E Contribute to the East West Lecture Series fundraiser: http://theeastwestseries.com/Do you want to watch the Becoming Truly Human documentary?

Tonight's episode comes after the episode called The First King of Israel. Saul is king, and he and his son Jonathan are in a constant war with the Philistines. Here we learn that obedience is far better than sacrifice. Saul's disobedience to God eventually costs him and his lineage the kingdom. We are reading 1 Samuel 13 through 15 (NIV).If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like toshow your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.

My guest for this and next week's podcast episodes is Robin Taylor, LCSW, who shares the painful beginnings of her story. Rejected by her father and merely tolerated by her mother, Robin grew up longing for love, attention, and acceptance. Without a clear sense of her worth, she moved from one unhealthy relationship to another, giving her heart to people who brought harm instead of care. Violence, cruelty, and unkindness left deep wounds, and true healing seemed out of reach. Everything began to change when Robin encountered Jesus. Even then, the journey toward understanding her value and learning healthy patterns took time. Through every step, God was quietly at work, bringing transformation, restoration, and redemption. Robin's story is a powerful reminder that our worth is not defined by how others treat us, but by the love God has for us.   Connect with Robin: https://Robin@timetobloom.online/ Standard "Our Time to Bloom" Membership: Sunday Morning "Princess with a Crooked Crown" Live broadcast via the app (8am EST, then available as a recording) Monday's Morning Cup of Grace Devotional Community membership and posts Premium "Our Time to Bloom" Membership Everything above God's Design: Domestic Violence Recovery Class 4 pre-recorded video lessons Workbook 30 day follow up journal 4 live Q and A sessions a month ( available recorded if missed) Messaging The "standard" membership is $10.95 per month The Premium membership that includes the recovery course is $79 I am giving away 5 of these for your listeners with the code: BRFREE The link for the free code is https://withme.so/mytimetobloom?promo_code=BRFREE The link for the app itself is: https://withme.so/mytimetobloom   Scripture Mentioned: 2 Timothy 3:6   To inquire about counseling, email Louise at Louise@louisesedgwick.com.
