Episode Summary | In this episode, Christine begins a new series on suffering for the sake of righteousness. Christine highlights rejection from the world and rejection from loved ones in this episode and encourages the believer to continue seeking The Lord for identity and worth. In a wicked world that is hostile towards God, rejection is inevitable for the believer; Christine acknowledges the pain, but encourages the listener to lean into the pain, not avoid it and continuously bring it to the feet of Jesus and rejoice for the sharing in the ministry of Christ.Episode Scripture References |Rejection from the World:Luke 6:26Galatians 1:10James 4:4Rejection from Loved Ones/Friends: The Story of LeahGenesis 29:25-35Philippians 1:29Philippians 3:10Psalm 129James 1:2Episode Graphics and Application |https://www.canva.com/design/DAE9i7PzOPE/sXzlKnI3-VmGblJgpjDYYQ/view?utm_content=DAE9i7PzOPE&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelinkEmail your reflections, questions, praise reports and requests to Christine at theunconventionaljoypodcast@gmail.com.Don't forget to connect with her on any of the platforms below and subscribe to The Unconventional Joy Podcast YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7QphO8wFnz7S5-r-3dpVawConnect with Christine on any of these platforms:Instagram: @twinmamaplus_1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christine.eddinger.98LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-eddinger-73724270/Until next week, submit your suffering to The Lord knowing that it is not in vain!
