EP 49: The Gift of Rejection (Ft. Nona Jones)

[@Melaninerinmarketing]

"We get so focused on who walked away, we forget who never left. Yes, God is with us in rejection.." This episode is like medicine. :)

[@alberthayes8018]

This statement is life changing: Guilt is the idea that I made a mistake, shame is the idea that I am a mistake.

[@Luvdowtin]

Wow, that is powerful, Nona!! Sometimes rejection may be putting you in the position that God wants you. How would we know if another situation is right for us if we don't allow ourselves to walk away from the current one! Amen! Amen! Amen!

[@renee2120]

Very powerful ❤

[@journeywithbrey]

God kept drawing me to this video and I'm glad I watched it. I completed her Bible plan and now I'm reading Killing Comparison and I love how she connects her experiences to the Word.

[@polaramondi5305]

This episode was for me. I've received nothing but rejections this year. I have basically not accomplished much in my career and I was finally giving up. This message made me want to carry on because I want to see what purpose all those rejections positioned me for. Thank you Meghan and Nona. Thank you Jesus for speaking to me.

[@jaquettaallen348]

Same I've been so frustrated

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

"Pain denied doesn't go away, pain denied simply gets absorbed and comes out in other ways." this hit me like a train... Immediately downloaded the Audio book. Meg sis we need Stephanie Ike and Dahter on the pod. Make it happen sis💞

[@shelbyspellman3046]

Don’t mind me, just taking notes and marking timestamps that touched me 26:44 “instead of going inward, go upward” … so true ! 34:12 “In order to experience rejection, you have to first have the hope you’ll be accepted” … this makes so much sense 37:45 “guilt is the idea I made a mistake, shame is I am a mistake” 42:45 “you’re just the avenue in which they decided to release their anger” (43:10) 👏🏾… it’s so easy to forget that hurt people will hurt people . 47:15 51:56 “what they care about is protecting an “image” “What is this rejection positioning me for?”

[@christinatait58]

Can you do this for every episode of the podcast ? This was so good and helpful 🙌🏾Thank you.

[@shelbyspellman3046]

@@christinatait58 awww you’re welcome ! I’ll try my best to remember to take notes & leave em’ on KZbin while I’m listening to the episode.

[@laurensullivan9886]

hey yall, in totality is really doing God's work. if you got anything from this episode can you please help me in leaving a thumbs up? the whole world needs to hear these messages but it can only happen if we all help in supporting it. the least we can do after being blessed by these videos is leave a like, comment, or share. 39k views and only 1.9k likes is crazy to me, lets do our part!

[@llaw8760]

“What do you need, what can I pray about”?? Now THIS is someone that God has personally assigned for you, and even though it may seem like well why would they care? God has you Megan!! Keep pushing

[@MercisJourney]

God KEEPS putting this in front of me, specifically this message from Miss Nona. I suppose it’s time I listen. 🙏❤️

[@sakoyia2780]

I have to watch this in sections, a little a day. This is so edifying and has brought me to tears several times in one sitting. Thank you guys for this conversation. I pray God continues to do his perfect work in the both of you. Sending love, joy, and perfect peace you ladies way 🤎

[@TheFallonDynasty]

I love the uniform analogy. We should definitely be mindful of how we represent ourselves. This was a great interview. I just finished the book, I'm a new fan of Nona Jones.

[@renewashington791]

I feel a Better way to think about ourselves and **Representation** is that True Christians should be Mindful we’re Representing **Jesus Christ and his Father Jehovah**

[@TheFallonDynasty]

@@renewashington791 True indeed.

[@neomoiloa9669]

Such a great chat. Other people's choices have nothing to do with us. Let's not internalise this, the rejection is their choice it's not an indictment.

[@TruFormz]

Megan if only you knew how your podcast and your transformation in God and how you allowed him to use you inspire me . Not only that but I want to experience him so deeply because of you and ever guest you have never miss. This pod is so healing . Ever last part of it and I am so glad God lead me to your platform . I can’t to see what God has for you! And on the other side of this for me . Every episode has resonated with each season I been going though and I just want to say thank you for allowing him to use you .

[@Kimone.C.Smith.]

“God uses rejection.” Absolutely! “Pain is rejection’s wrapping paper. The gift is on the inside.” Wow! Sounds like a basic statement but it’s a powerful statement! “You cannot get free from a bondage you haven’t acknowledged!” 😮‍💨 Okay?? The rejection mindset can really keep us in bondage but if we truly view if from the eyes that God is sovereign and all knowing, we can rest in the fact that even in rejection, He is working all things for the good and His glory. This episode was sooo good! Sooo very helpful!♥️ 🤍🤍🤍🛖🛖🛖🤎🤎🤎

[@ThatChristiangurlll]

When I tell y’all god is always on time he’s always on time thank you Jesus 😊

[@unique1t35]

This entire episode was a download for me! I thank God for this podcast. Many blessings to the both of you!

[@kimberlybunting2691]

This !!!

[@EOOgunro]

Yesss Nona is making her rounds on these podcasts/shows!! Love it

[@Blizerton]

I love the way God can reveal to you the areas in which you need healing or the “root” of your issues and lead you to resources (albeit tangible or intangible) that can help equip you with the practical tools to foster healing!! All glory be to God for how he uses people and their testimony to minister to our souls and challenges us as believers to seek Him 🙏🏾✨

[@TericaCarter13]

I thank God for these podcast; I love every episode!

[@asialynn1999]

Literally!!

[@ashleyjaff24]

I can't wait for the book. Was reading up watching and am so grateful for this guest and ministry❤will go watch the first one now

[@ana-lisemurray]

Nona’s laughter is sooo infectious. Love her. Thank you for accepting the call. ❤️

[@soleillevant7030]

I've experienced rejection in every facet of my life. It is normal for me which is why it has created a positive connotation on my life. I always put my best foot forward in which Allah has shown me fits for me. Getting rejected is like trying to climb up a tall slide with socks on. You slide enough you start thinking maybe i should take my socks off.

[@heavyn2727]

“We get so focused on who walked away, we forget who never left!” Miss Nona!!🩵🩵

[@indyajanaebryant2327]

thank you for this podcast episode right now i have experienced rejection recently and just so happen i remembered this podcast because i knew your faith was strong in the lord and then the title of the episode stood out to me so thank you i needed to hear this and thank you Nona Jones.

[@Luvdowtin]

[@gcasanova9123]

This was really relatable as a corporate employee and navigating rejection through and outside the workplace.

[@MichaelPeterson-w2j]

You have a gift for explaining difficult concepts!

[@ChristianEvans-x1u]

This was so good! Nona thank you for sharing your story and letting God use you in this way! We are all definitely dealing with some form of rejection and mine definitely led me into sin. I need this book!

[@lachaewilliams3374]

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@kyeashapeterson398]

Great episode. Learning to accept Rejection. Rejection will happen. What do I need to change ? Learning experiences 🙌🏾👏🏾

[@MaryBrown-qp6iw]

Feeling very discouraged, recently found out I won’t be going permanent for a job. I have been for 5 months now, and they just told me this.

[@sarahmvula78]

God has something better for you.

[@renewashington791]

It really hurt my heart TO THE CORE 💔 to hear Miss Nona relate that Her Mama ACCUSED her as a 5 year old of being a party to her own SA, saying “IF she had only kept her Legs CLosed” the assault would’ve NEVER happened 😢 How absolutely Bereft and Devoid of Moral Compass must one be to make such a VULGAR statement to a CHILD. I pray God that someday SOON, Miss Nona’s Mama will Beg for her FORGIVENESS.

[@hawanyaroshon6903]

Whewww!!! Secret Shame! That's the part. Allowing people to continue to live in SIN...My God that just freed me up!

[@kirstennusum7059]

Right on time!!!

[@jackielynn3540]

What if the adds were promoting Christian music, clothing brands, skincare brands, christian fitness (AND CHRISTIAN WORKOUT CLOTHES FOR WOMEN), CHRISTIAN MUSIC please Lord. It's hard to be Christian in totality! Specially being young! Searching for things that don't convict me! I have found some things and im grateful Heavenly Father! I would be overjoyed if the christian stuff I watch could lead me to more christian things to enjoy!!!! Thank you kindly for reading! Love the pod

[@nessanicole602]

I agree! Music is such a big one for me and I really feel it has a stronghold on so many people. I do have a gospel playlist I’m making with all genres and styles of worship - I can send it to you if you’d like 🙂

[@hotzd23]

What's a good prayer to God while trying to cast your cares on to him after rejection and acknowledging that you are hurt by someone or being rejected by someone?

[@shelbyspellman3046]

Lord, it says in your Word to caste my worries on You & you’ll take the burden(s). I’d be dishonest if I say I don’t feel the pain & negative emotions of rejection. Please don’t allow these feelings to turn me away from Your protections. Whatever is removed or unavailable, remind me You’ll replace it tenfold. Hold my hand through rejection and when I gain my strength, help me to understand Your perfect will will never lead me astray.

[@Vibing_with_teddy]

I love you Meg

[@Nnuola_]

How's your eye Megs?

[@Letsbe4realnow]

Please stop having these REAL conversations while lying . 1st of all saying that the people in the church need less help than those outside when we all know that the church keeps up just enough mess as those who do not attend 2) please stop having these I left corporate convos as if these churches don’t also operate like a corporation and u can be fired and or alienated the same .3) as someone who has worked at the Menlo Park offices as a contractor who went thru the training as I was working on a project on the campus I know the culture of the company and being an executive in the role u we’re in …nvm 4) please stop wearing these weaves, blonde hair and red makeup if u are going to talk about how other people are walking in life. These story being told that it’s protective style.. how so when we like to say regardless of who u pray to that we were given everything we needed . Blonde hair wasn’t on the list nor a red lip let’s be forreal and I’m calling out myself. He wanted us to have the hair we have knowing the weather elements he created. I have always had long thick hair that I use to take for granted and I wear naturally now and plan to stop flat ironing but I used to wear wigs and weaves years ago and it was self-hate back then. Everybody needs to do better even me. Being a good story teller does not mean you are telling a good or truly godly story
