Welcome to Faith and Freedom, where we seek strength and encouragement from God’s Word to navigate life’s ups and downs. I’m Matt DiConti, and today we’re talking about a challenging but universal experience: rejection. Whether it’s in relationships, careers, or even our personal goals, rejection can shake our confidence and make us question our path. But as Christians, we find hope and direction even in moments of setback. Today, we’ll look at powerful examples from the Bible—stories where God turned rejection into purpose and resilience. We’ll discuss how we can lean into our faith to handle rejection with grace, stay grounded in our worth, and trust that God often has something better in store. Let’s explore how to move forward when doors close, knowing we’re never truly alone or without purpose.
