Podcasts about Rejection

This is an encore presentation of an episode originally released May, 2024. After today, I will be taking a short break and returning on April 2nd with all new episodes. All Patreon memberships will be paused until we return as well. Thank you!Hey y'all! This is the ONE jail story I have yet to tell anywhere . Literally one of the craziest events of my entire life, and probably the wildest four days of my active addiction. As always though, there is purpose in the madness, and this story is no different. A few episodes ago my guest Kevin said that a "miracle" can just be a shift in perspective. I absolutely love that idea and today you and I are going to discuss the perspective shift that "rejection is protection." Typically when we are rejected for anything, or by someone, we feel it is based on our value - that we aren't "good enough." What if we can shift our belief system to believe that rejection is a good thing, and absolutely unrelated to our value? Let's talk about it! Let me know what ya'll think!

Today's guest is a Grammy-winning songwriter, global pop architect, and one of the most quietly influential voices shaping modern music across borders.Before the world heard her voice, EJAE spent years training inside the K-pop system — learning discipline, structure, and endurance long before recognition ever arrived. When the system didn't know what to do with her, she pivoted. Slowly. Intentionally. And built a career that would eventually be heard everywhere.Now, as a songwriter whose work spans K-pop, pop, animation, and beyond — and as an artist stepping into her own voice — EJAE represents a different kind of success: one built patiently, shaped by pressure, and defined by longevity rather than speed.And The Writer Is… EJAE.In this episode of And The Writer Is…, EJAE opens up about:The reality of the K-pop training system and what it actually teaches you about discipline and survivalRejection and why her voice didn't fit the moment — and how that shaped her writingLearning to work alone after years inside a rigid systemHow songwriting became a safer, more powerful entry point than performingThe pivot that reframed her career and led to global successAnd much more…Hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications.Every week, we go deep with the most interesting creatives in music.Follow us on socials: @andthewriterisA special thank you to our sponsors…Our lead sponsor, NMPA — the National Music Publishing Association.

Sometimes the places in our hearts that feel most tender are also the places we avoid looking. Rejection can leave quiet echoes, forming the way we see ourselves, the lens through which we trust others, and the story we tell about our worth. These old wounds don't always announce themselves, but they shape how we show up in relationships and in life. In this conversation with trauma therapist Tabitha Panariso, we explore what it looks like to heal from the wounds of rejection and begin to embody the gospel's invitations towards belonging and belovedness. Tabitha shares how healing isn't just about moving on, but about resuscitating the heart and learning to receive God's compassion for ourselves. I hope you'll listen in. Check out Tabitha's book Loyal in His Love here. Thought-provoking quotes: “We are not a problems to be fixed. We are people to be loved." - Tabitha Panariso "What we often call ‘moving on' is really just self-protection.” - Tabitha Panariso "To be willing to say something hurts means we're more inclined to receive healing. If we can't acknowledge the pain, we'll never look for wholeness.” - Tabitha Panariso "Learning to receive compassion is one of the hardest parts of embodying the gospel.” - Tabitha Panariso Get Faith & Feeling's weekly resource email Watch this episode on YouTube Grab a copy of my book Stop Saying I'm Fine Connect with me on my website Find me on Instagram @__taylorjoy__ Key words: Rejection, trauma, spiritual formation, self-compassion, abandonment wounds, relationship patterns, self-protection, belonging, identity, grief, lament, relational healing, emotional awareness, personal growth, curiosity, Tabitha Panariso

This lecture explores the profound teachings of Jesus as presented in Matthew 11:20-30, focusing on Jesus' denouncement of unrepentant towns and his invitation to those who are weary. The session begins with a reading that sets the stage for Jesus' criticism of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, towns that witnessed numerous miracles yet failed to turn to God. The lecturer, Ian, introduces this context by recounting a story from the life of Matt Canlis, who, while meeting with a skeptic from a small Scottish village, illustrated the significance of geographical proximity to miraculous events and the accountability that comes with it.Ian emphasizes that these towns had unprecedented access to Jesus and his teachings, making their rejection of his message particularly poignant. By juxtaposing these Galilean villages with notorious cities like Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom, Jesus underlines a critical biblical principle: with great knowledge comes great responsibility. The discussion invites listeners to reflect on their own context, especially in a nation like the United States, where access to the words and teachings of Jesus is unparalleled.The lecture transitions to a prayer from Jesus expressing gratitude for God revealing truths to the “childlike” while hiding them from the “wise.” This prayer shifts the tone from condemnation to affirmation, illustrating God's preference for humility and receptivity over intellectual pride. Ian draws parallels with historical and scriptural references, noting the consequences of a hardened heart towards God. The lecture stresses that genuine worship and relationship with God go beyond outward appearances and rituals; their essence lies in the condition of the heart.The focus then moves toward the invitation Jesus extends to the weary and heavy-laden. Ian elaborates on the concept of taking on Jesus' yoke, explaining its implications both as a metaphor for learning from him and as an invitation into a deeper relational dynamic with the God who provides rest. He articulates that this rest is not merely physical relief but an overarching peace that comes from trust in God's provision.Ian contrasts Jesus' yoke with the burdens of cultural expectations and personal struggles, urging participants to consider what yokes they might be carrying that leave them exhausted. He discusses the dual nature of Jesus as both humble and powerful, capable of bearing burdens while inviting believers into a partnership that offers rest and learning. The imagery of yoking together, especially a younger ox with an older one, illustrates the nature of this relationship—Jesus as the stronger partner who supports the believer in navigating life's challenges.As the lecture progresses, Ian invites listeners to engage with their own weariness, suggesting that coming to Jesus provides not just relief but guidance in learning to live in alignment with God's will. The session culminates with an invitation for prayer, allowing those feeling burdened an opportunity to seek support in the community and to step into the rest that Jesus promises.Ultimately, Ian emphasizes the importance of remaining receptive to God's voice and guidance, challenging listeners to approach their faith with the eagerness of a child ready to learn. The invitation to “come to me” is framed not just as a call to relief but as an entrance into a transformative relationship with Jesus, reinforcing the belief that he offers a fitting yoke that leads to true rest for the soul.

After a two-month break from the mic (and an incredible client takeover series), I'm back on The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast with one of the most vulnerable episodes I've ever recorded.In this deeply personal reflection, I share how my December 2025 ADHD diagnosis helped me finally make sense of the last three years of my life and business—and how rejection, unprocessed grief, and self-protection slowly pulled me out of my own marketing while I was still technically “showing up.”This episode is about what it looks like to keep producing, keep serving, keep grinding—while quietly disappearing from yourself.In This Episode, You'll Hear:Why I stepped away from the podcast—and what changed while I was goneHow my December 2025 ADHD diagnosis reframed my entire life story (and my business story)How I went from believing “I'm neurotypical but deficient” to recognizing that I'm neurodivergentThe moment of rejection in 2023 that created the core belief: “They don't want me.”How rejection sensitivity and emotional dysregulation showed up (what I now understand as ADHD/RSD)What “hiding in plain sight” looked like for me: removing myself from my marketing slowly, gradually, unconsciouslyHow my content shifted from story-led to framework-heavy—and why selling started to feel harderThe compounding layers of perimenopause, masking, burnout, trauma, and a shrinking sense of safetyA raw look at 2025: increasing mistakes, relying on AI for messaging, delegating my authority away, and feeling spiritually abandonedThe turning point in July 2025, when I sought God in my lowest moment and experienced deep healing and intimacy with JesusHow TikTok unexpectedly opened the door to ADHD awareness and self-recognitionMy diagnosis journey, medication changes (Strattera → Adderall → Vyvanse), and the grief work I'm doing in therapyWhat's changing now as I rebuild, show my face again, and re-enter my business with my full selfIf This Episode Resonated:If you've ever felt like you were “showing up” while disappearing…If you've built success while quietly shrinking…If rejection changed the way you see yourself…You are not alone.Follow me on TikTok where I'm sharing more of this journey in real time.And keep listening—I'll continue sharing what's unfolding next.Peace and love.Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

Thadd McElreath preaches from Matthew 13:53-58.

Speaker: Brent Kercheville. How bad can your life get before you would challenge God and give up on him? How bad does the trial have to be before it would cause you to break?

US President Donald Trump has imposed a new 10% global tariff to replace ones struck down by the Supreme Court, calling the ruling "terrible" and lambasting the justices who rejected his trade policy as "fools".Also on the programme, French President Emmanuel Macron has appealed for calm ahead of a march in Lyon remembering a right-wing student activist who was killed by suspected left-wing extremists earlier this month; and, conservationists are celebrating the reintroduction of giant tortoises to one of the Galapagos Islands -- nearly two centuries after the sub-species was wiped out.

Teacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyPsalm 117 commands the nations.Psalm 118 governs the redeemed.These Psalms establish that Yahuah's rule is universal, His truth endures, trust reveals allegiance, and access to His gates is not assumed.This is not emotional worship.This is covenant declaration.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. The Nations Are Commanded to PraisePsalm 117:1–2Praise is not invitation, it is command.Refusal to acknowledge Yahuah is not neutrality, it is insubordination.His mercy toward Israel is public witness to the world, and His truth does not expire.2. Covenant Categories and Fear of YahuahPsalm 118:1–4Israel.House of Aaron.Those who fear Yahuah.Covenant identity is defined, not assumed.Fear distinguishes the loyal from the indifferent.3. Trust in Yahuah or Functional IdolatryPsalm 118:5–9“It is better to trust in Yahuah than to put confidence in man.”Trust reveals allegiance.Persistent confidence in man over Yahuah becomes functional idolatry.Deliverance confirms ownership.4. Correction, Not AbandonmentPsalm 118:15–18Yahuah chastens but does not immediately give over to destruction.Correction is mercy.But correction despised invites removal.5. The Gate of Righteousness and Restricted AccessPsalm 118:19–21Entrance is not automatic.“The righteous shall enter.”Access belongs to the aligned, not the self-justified.6. The Rejected Stone and Divine VerdictPsalm 118:22–23The stone rejected by builders becomes the cornerstone.Rejection by men does not cancel Yahuah's decree.Those who reject what He establishes remove themselves from the structure.7. Deliverance Demands VowPsalm 118:24–29Public rescue requires public loyalty.Vows are not sentimental.Ingratitude erodes covenant faithfulness.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSThe nations are accountable.Fear defines covenant identity.Trust exposes allegiance.Access is governed.Rejection does not overturn divine appointment.Deliverance demands obedience.Psalm 117 establishes global authority.Psalm 118 enforces covenant loyalty.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYGenesis 12Deuteronomy 7, 10Psalm 24Psalm 115Isaiah 28, 45Jeremiah 17Daniel 2Malachi 3Matthew 21Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.FINAL WORDYou are either trusting Yahuah or replacing Him.You are either entering through the gate of righteousness or assuming access.You are either aligning with the cornerstone or standing outside the structure.There is no third category.Final Heart Check:When pressure comes, where does your trust run?When correction comes, do you submit or resist?When Yahuah establishes what others reject, where do you stand?

Before Damian Maldonado was negotiating billion-dollar valuations or building businesses across Puerto Rico, he was a kid living in poverty and sharing bunk beds in a homeless shelter with his brothers. But those early years didn't break him. They led him to become the co-founder and CEO of American Financing, one of the largest privately held mortgage companies in the U.S. In this episode, Damian joins Ilana to share how growing up in poverty shaped his relationship with risk, money, and resilience, and what it really takes to bootstrap a company through market crashes, massive layoffs, and billion-dollar decisions. Damian Maldonado is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder and CEO of American Financing, one of the largest privately held mortgage companies in the U.S., which he helped grow from a small startup into a national brand.

This week, I got to sit down with my dear friend, author, artist, and coach Toranj Kayvon — and as usual, our conversation went deep. We talked about what it really means to become self-led instead of survival-led — and how so many of us chase “legitimacy” through external achievements instead of embodying the truth that we already are worthy. Toranj shares the story of how her U.S. visa denial became the divine detour that led her to create her most powerful work yet — Radiate, a program designed to help creatives regulate their nervous systems, reconnect to their power, and express legitimacy from within instead of trying to prove it. We also explore: The difference between inadequacy and illegitimacy — and how collapsing the two keeps artists stuck How to navigate rejection as divine protection (and why it's proof you're being redirected toward your purpose) The spiritual and scientific roots of authorship, expansion, and worthiness And the skill of holding both disappointment and faith when your dream doesn't unfold the way you expected This one's for anyone who's ever thought, “Maybe I'm not cut out for this.” Spoiler: you are. And as Toranj reminds us — your desire itself is evidence that the reality already exists. ✨ If you loved this episode, make sure to tag us and let us know your takeaways:@whitneyuland and @toranjkayvon on Instagram.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What's behind the headlines—and what happens when purpose, presence, and generosity quietly shape the biggest opportunities?In this episode, I'm joined by tap-dance powerhouse sisters Chloe and Maud Arnold—creators, choreographers, educators, entrepreneurs, and the visionary force behind Syncopated Ladies, the all-female tap ensemble that has amassed over 100 million views online. Their work has traveled to more than 30 countries, with appearances on The Ellen Show, Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and So You Think You Can Dance—and recognition from cultural icons including Beyoncé, Whoopi Goldberg, Shonda Rhimes, and Janet Jackson.But this conversation isn't about the highlight reel.It's about the humans behind the headlines—and the small, deeply human choices that often create the biggest turning points. Chloe and Maud share how major breakthroughs have come through everyday acts of care: giving a friend a ride, making space for someone who needs to be included, and leading with mission rather than image.We talk about:Why “being present” is a performance skill—and a life skillThe “make it until you make it… and keep making it” mindset (and the early projects nobody saw)Rejection, resilience, and staying open without getting bitterIdentity, excellence, and the power of being raised with the message: you already belongWhat it means to choose your standards—and protect your energy—while staying generous and groundedThis one is an invitation to slow down, remember what matters, and honor the unseen moments that shape a life.As STOPTIME: Live in the Moment approaches five years of conversations (almost six!), I'm revisiting and re-sharing a few favorite episodes—conversations that continue to resonate and meet us exactly where we are.

Webinar by signing up here:register.boldbrush.com/live-guestLearn the magic of marketing  with us here at BoldBrush!boldbrushshow.comGet over 50% off your first year on your artist website with FASO:FASO.com/podcast---For today's episode compilation we explore how artists can reframe rejection as a normal, even necessary, part of a creative career rather than a verdict on their worth. Our past guests describe rejection as an ego blow that must be met with humility, a willingness to learn, and a long-term mindset of steady improvement. Several artists share stories of painful setbacks—unsold shows, declined gallery submissions, ignored emails—but explain how these experiences fueled their determination to work harder and get better. They emphasize building a “thick skin” while still remaining open to tough, honest critique, using feedback to refine both craft and professionalism. The conversation also highlights that rejection isn't always about the artist's shortcomings; sometimes the fit, timing, or other person's vision just isn't right yet. Throughout, our past guests stress perseverance, self-awareness, and staying committed to the work itself as the healthiest way to survive and grow from rejection.

"Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Consider what great things he has done for you." –1 Samuel 12:24 Our lesson this week in 1 Samuel 8-15 highlights Israel's transition to a monarchy, Saul's rise to power, and his eventual rejection by God due to disobedience. We saw God sovereignly work through Israel's demand for an earthly king “like the nations” to reveal their weak faith, hard-heartedness, and their true need for a heavenly King. We were challenged to examine our own hearts, humbly repenting of sin and seeking God's forgiveness.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced recently that it will not review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine, despite late-stage trials showing it was safe and effective. The rejection has many in and outside the industry concerned about the Trump administration's approach to vaccine development and recommendations. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Michael Osterholm.

Insurance Denials, Unexpected Connection Hacks and a Kitten with a Foot Fetish Patricia Young (she/her) shares a "mishmash" of real-time reflections on disappointment, expectations, nervous system shifts, and the everyday emotional intensity of being AuDHD. From insurance frustrations and PDA autonomy struggles to surprising connection hacks like a digital picture frame, Patricia explores what it means to be neurodivergent in a world full of unpredictability. This episode is a gentle reminder that big feelings are valid, connection can show up unexpectedly, and sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The emotional whiplash of going from calm to dysregulated in minutes · How autistic and AuDHD nervous systems respond to sudden disappointment · The impact of insurance denial and loss of autonomy (PDA profile) · Why "doing the next indicated step" can be grounding · The difference between pushing through vs. honoring rest · Patricia's experience as a verbal processor and why venting helps · The autistic struggle of wanting specificity but needing to stay vague · How gifts outside your frame of reference can initially trigger discomfort · A surprising digital picture frame "object permanence" connection hack · The neurodivergent reality of out-of-sight, out-of-mind relationships · Internalized self-judgment about what we "should" value · How accommodations from safe people feel deeply regulating · The joy of being supported without shame or inconvenience · Navigating sensory overwhelm in loud restaurants with Loop earplugs · How trusted relationships can invite novelty without dysregulation · The concept of "burnt toast" moments — when bad things lead to better outcomes · Grief, rage, and relief that can come with late autism diagnosis · The pain of expectations falling flat in relationships · Rejection sensitivity showing up even with pets (hello, Walter the kitten) · The reminder that neurodivergent big feelings are human and shared   SOUND BITES  · "My window of tolerance is increasing. I can just sit with more uncomfortable things." · "Sometimes just doing the next indicated step is how we move through things." · "I wouldn't have asked for a digital picture frame… and it ended up being a great hack for connection." · "I feel so seen and so accommodated — and there's nothing about 'you're too much.'" · "There's nothing wrong with you. You're not alone. We're just wired the way we are."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

Actor, creator, and entrepreneur Luke Cook joins Gabby Reece for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, rejection, faith, and building a meaningful life.Luke shares his unconventional journey from growing up in Australia as the youngest of five, to chasing comedy and acting in Hollywood — including seven years of near-constant auditions with little visible success. He speaks candidly about rejection, identity, and why loving the craft itself matters more than external validation.The conversation moves fluidly between creativity and discipline, faith and doubt, ego and humility. Luke reflects on fatherhood, marriage, and the grounding power of family — as well as the importance of play, presence, and not taking success (or failure) too seriously.They also explore Luke's entrepreneurial ventures, including building a “no-weird-stuff” protein shake brand, creative coaching for founders, and using humor to communicate without shame. Throughout, Luke emphasizes curiosity, integrity, and joy as essential ingredients for longevity — in work and in life.This episode is about staying in the game, trusting the process, and remembering that success isn't a destination — it's how you live along the way.⏱️ CHAPTERS- Intro & meeting Luke- Growing up the youngest of five- Early love of performance and comedy- Discipline, training, and loving the craft- Moving to LA & chasing the dream- Years of auditions and rejection- Ego, ambition, and humility- Faith, doubt, and finding a north star- Marriage, fatherhood, and family grounding- Creativity vs. external validation- Building a values-driven business- Content, comedy, and honest communication- Relationships, partnership, and play- What success really looks like- Staying joyful in uncertainty- Closing reflections WHAT STAYED WITH MELoving the work matters more than loving the outcome.Rejection doesn't end careers — quitting does.Discipline follows passion.When you care deeply enough, showing up becomes natural.Ego needs humility to stay healthy.Confidence fuels performance; humility keeps you grounded.Family changes the definition of success.Responsibility, presence, and play become the real markers.Faith doesn't eliminate doubt.It gives you somewhere to return when things feel unstable.Joy is a choice.Especially when the path forward isn't clear.WHY IT'S WORTH SLOWING DOWN FOR THISWe live in a culture that celebrates instant success and overnight wins — often ignoring the long, invisible seasons of work that come before them.Luke's story is a reminder that staying in the game matters.That creativity doesn't expire.And that meaning is built through patience, integrity, and connection — not applause.If you're navigating uncertainty, rejection, or a season of waiting, this conversation offers perspective worth sitting with.FIND LUKELuke CookInstagram & TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/thelukecookProtein brand: https://getshakewell.comFOR MORE ON GABBYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabbyreeceofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GabbyReeceThe Gabby Reece Show Podcast: Available on all major platformsEpisode sponsors:Get up to 30% off OneSkin with the code GABBYREECE at https://www.oneskin.co/GABBYREECE #oneskinpodDon't let another year go by feeling less than your best.

Healthy Me Healthy Us Week Three - Rooted in Rejection by Pastor Troy Powell

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 5:3-5. Few passages in Scripture hit as hard as this one. Paul doesn't soften his tone, negotiate with sin, or try to appease the emotions of the Corinthian church. He issues a clear and urgent verdict. For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. — 1 Corinthians 5:3–5 Paul knows that this situation isn't just unhealthy—it's spiritually destructive. The sin is so entrenched, and the man so unrepentant, that drastic action is required. This is immediate and urgent spiritual surgery. What does "deliver this man to Satan" actually mean? Paul isn't calling for torture or physical harm. He isn't asking the church to ruin this man's life. He's calling for something far more purposeful: removal from the protection and fellowship of the church so he experiences the full weight of his sin. Inside the church, the man enjoys spiritual covering, truth, prayer, and community. Outside the church, he feels the consequences of his rebellion without the shelter he had taken for granted. "The destruction of the flesh" refers to breaking down his sinful nature—not destroying his soul. Paul's goal is restoration, not ruin. The goal is always redemption: "that his spirit may be saved." Sometimes, the only path to saving a person is allowing them to feel the emptiness and pain of life apart from God. It's the same pattern we see in the prodigal son: consequences awaken repentance and a "coming to his senses." So why don't churches discipline like this anymore? Two reasons: 1. Fear of "church hurt." Pastors are often afraid to confront sin out of fear they'll be labeled harsh, judgmental, or unloving. But avoiding discipline doesn't protect anyone. It leaves people stuck. 2. Cultural understanding of love (compassion). Our culture equates love with affirmation. Many Christians have embraced this belief, assuming that confronting another's sin is unloving and judgmental. But Scripture teaches the opposite. Love tells the truth. Love corrects. Love rescues. In many churches today, the real scandal isn't that sin exists—it's that believers lack the courage to call sin what God has already called it. Removing discipline removes one of God's strongest tools for spiritual rescue. Discipline isn't rejection—it's rescue. God's discipline is not punishment; it's protection. Scripture also tells us: "The Lord disciplines the one he loves." (Hebrews 12:6) Discipline is never God turning His back on you. It's God refusing to let you destroy yourself. Church discipline, when done biblically, cuts in order to heal. It exposes in order to restore. It protects the body and saves the sinner. Don't despise discipline. Don't reject it. Receive it as grace. Because the only thing worse than being disciplined by God is being left alone in your sin. DO THIS: Ask God to reveal one area where you've resisted discipline or correction. Submit it to Him. Invite a trusted believer to help you walk toward healing. ASK THIS: Why do I avoid correction even when I know it protects me? Where have I confused love with affirmation? How can I receive discipline as a blessing instead of a burden? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for loving me enough to discipline me. Cut away what corrupts me. Remove what destroys me. Give me a humble heart that welcomes Your correction so I can be healed and restored. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Even When It Hurts"

Dante Lauretta explains how after a 2007 rejection he refined the science objectives, coining the name OSIRIS-REx, then assumed leadership after Mike Drake's passing and guided the team through a critical 2014 confirmation review to secure NASA approval.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Kristen Strong (author, mom of 3, and military spouse) for a heartfelt conversation about something so many of us wrestle with… friendship. Whether it's finding new friends as an adult, navigating the awkwardness of starting over, or simply maintaining meaningful connections in a busy season, Kristen brings so much honesty and encouragement to our chat. We talk about the ups and downs of friendship through different life stages, the unique challenges of modern life (hello, social media), and how vulnerability and intention can lead to deeper, more fulfilling relationships. Kristen also shares some beautiful wisdom from her new book, Desperate Woman Seeks Friends. It's part memoir, part gentle guide for anyone feeling a little lonely or disconnected. You'll walk away from this episode feeling less alone and more equipped to take the next small step toward community—whatever that might look like for you right now.
