Be okay with embracing who you are, loving who you are, and making the

separations that are necessary for your emotional health. What about you being

the apple of God's eye? That is what's the important part of it all. That's why I

live it out loud. Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast. Whenever we have that

feeling that we don't quite belong or that others don't accept us for who we are,

we can look to examples from the Bible of strong people of faith who owned who

they were in God's eyes and went on to do great things in His name, even when

others may have thought they were weird or different. God offers us the

ultimate experience of acceptance as He assures us in Romans 8, 38, and 39.

Nothing can separate us from the Father's love. Our guests today have had to

look rejection and humiliation in the face and choose to believe that God had

more for them, even when other people didn't believe in them. We're talking

with gospel music sensation Kira Sheard Kelly and the chief legal correspondent

for Fox News, Shannon Breen.

First up, Kira Sheard Kelly is a gospel singer and songwriter, author, actress,

and entrepreneur. Growing up in a house where music was a second language, it wasn't

surprising when Kira reached her teen years that she would follow in the footsteps

of her famous mother and aunts who made up the legendary Clark sisters. But it

would take a little longer for Kira to really find out who she was, apart from

the hit songs, apart from what others thought of her, and truly embrace the

person she was uniquely meant to be. Hello, I am Kira Sheard Kelly, the author of

Big Bode and Beautiful, owning the woman God made you to me.
