When shame speaks louder than truth, healing feels impossible.
In this raw and powerful episode, TV host and pastor Jen Mallan opens up about her earliest wound—being hidden in the womb, born into shame, and marked by a spirit of rejection. But God didn’t leave her there.
If you’ve ever struggled with not feeling wanted, chosen, or truly accepted by God—this is the conversation your heart’s been waiting for.
Jen shares how one Spirit-filled moment of deliverance at home (not in church) broke decades of torment, and how she continues to guard her healing daily.
This episode is for the Christian woman who:
Feels emotionally stuck even after years in church
Struggles with shame, rejection, or abandonment
Wants a real encounter with God—not just another teaching
Needs practical tools to keep healing, even when it’s layered
You’ll gain:
Clarity on how rejection takes root and repeats spiritually
A beautiful encounter story of healing with God
Biblical insight on shame and acceptance
Permission to heal outside of “churchy” performance
Encouragement to fight for your breakthrough with the Word

Scripture: Psalm 27:10 – “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.”
Prayer: Father, thank You that even when others reject us, You draw us close. Heal the places where shame has made its home in our hearts. Let Your truth uproot every lie.
Declaration: I am chosen by God, loved by God, and fully accepted in the Beloved. Rejection has no voice in my future.
