Summary
In this podcast episode I want to talk about rejection, abandonment and building more confidence.
I grew up in a safe home. But just because we’re not raised around something doesn’t mean we’re not touched by it. My Dad’s story was a story of rejection, abandonment and a lack of confidence but when he found Christ, he started to go after those things and find healing. I was raised in a home of love and safety, but that generational thread that followed my Dad would love nothing more than to knock on my door. Instead of saying those were his issues, I realized that spirit of rejection and abandonment wants to follow my story as well.
The narrative of abandonment and rejection sounds so familiar in our thoughts that it doesn’t even sound surprising to us. But when we hear those negative narratives in our mind, we have a decision to make. We can go to self-pity, or we can stay soft and open to the people around us and realize God is divinely orchestrating everything in our life. In those moments we have to reject abandonment.
Thank you so much for tuning in today! Let's break up with the narratives in our mind that keep us from living fully free.

| 0:18.4 | And today I'm talking about a topic that is really important, but something we don't |
| 0:24.1 | always like to talk about. |
| 0:26.1 | I want to hit the topic of rejection, abandonment, and building more confidence. |
| 0:33.6 | Gosh, you would think in our world where we're all obsessed with empowering people and |
| 0:38.4 | having a strong voice and going for it and being ourselves. |
| 0:41.8 | We wouldn't have an issue with self-confidence, an abandonment or rejection, but we do. |
| 0:47.0 | And I want to kind of talk to you about a moment this week where it came up in my own |
| 0:51.1 | life and where I've had to really acknowledge it and begin to build a different story in |
| 0:58.0 | my own life. |
| 0:59.0 | So, I grew up in a pretty normal home. |
| 1:02.4 | My mom and dad loved each other. |
| 1:04.7 | They didn't come from, they came from, my mom came from a pretty healthy home. |
| 1:08.8 | My dad came from a healthy home in some ways, but mostly not healthy. |
| 1:13.1 | It's kind of confusing, but and basically I was raised somewhat in a bubble of certain |
| 1:19.7 | things in life. |
| 1:21.6 | Which, the reason I'm telling you that is because what I'm about to tell you, I want you |
| 1:25.7 | to understand how it works in our own lives. |
| 1:29.0 | Because just because we're not raised around something doesn't mean we're not touched |
| 1:32.4 | by it, and it doesn't mean we don't need tools for it. |
| 1:36.5 | So my dad was raised in a political home. |
