75: Jessica Hottle | Moving Forward After Rejection

Jessica and I chat about walking forward in faith after rejection.  We discuss changing the narrative surrounding rejection, being humble, and growth that can result.

3:10 Share a little about your faith journey with us.  How did you come to know Jesus?

6:48 Today we are going to talk about how to keep walking forward in faith after rejection.  Will you share a time when you experienced rejection and how that experience launched you into this pursuit of helping women know their worth?

11:21 What are some of the things you do now to help women view rejection differently?

1. Change the narrative
2. Be humble in the face of rejection
3. Every time there is a rejection, a no, there is an opportunity to grow

“We still have work in the promise. We still are called to show up. I think that is what we see in David. He still served the king. He played the harp, right? He served his brothers.  There was servanthood in the midst of the waiting and even when Saul was after him, he still wanted to serve him… There is this heart posture that we need to get to in in that process of waiting.”

“A rejection from humans. a no from humans does not mean a no or rejection from God.”

17:48 Are there some questions that you ask yourself after experiencing rejection?

“You can generally ask yourself, what’s going on right now (both parties)? You have to understand both sides. Where is each side coming from? Because the more you can take yourself out of it, meaning, your identity and worth…. then you can start to formulate this kind of subjective view of the situation to be able to learn and grow from.”

“What can I do moving forward?”
