Summary

Alright, sis, get ready because this episode is about to hit different! Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts is chopping it up with none other than Nona Jones, and trust me—you’re gonna want to lean all the way in for this one. Nona’s got a new book coming out called The Gift of Rejection, and they’re talking about how rejection—yep, the thing that stings—can actually be a blessing in disguise. They’re getting real about the times life said 'no' and how those moments actually pushed them toward a bigger purpose. You’ll learn how to flip rejection on its head, build resilience, and see that closed doors are really just God’s redirection. Grab your journal, sis—you’re gonna want to take notes on this one!
