And so for me, rejection was where in my mind, I would diminish the best of who I am because of the worst of what's been said to me.

Hey, everyone. Welcome to Talk It Out. We are so glad that we get this opportunity together to spend some time with you to talk about the Word of God, to keep it real and practical and very realistic to our everyday lives and understand how much of a difference God makes in everything that we allow him to be part of.
