REAL TALK WEEKLY
Hey Real Talk Family,
Welcome to a new week filled with promise, purpose, and power. As we step into June, I want to remind you that even in the middle of a storm, you are still in the center of God’s plan. His grace hasn’t expired, and your breakthrough isn’t on pause—it’s on the way.
Let this week be a reset. A restart. A reawakening.
Now, there’s one topic I discussed today in the newly released motivational coaching Q&A episode - and that’s rejection. Let’s be real—rejection hits different when it comes from places you expected support, love, or opportunity. But hear me clearly: rejection is not the enemy—it’s the evidence that you're aiming higher than most people are willing to go. Sometimes it’s not that they didn’t choose you... it’s that God already did, and He’s setting you apart for something greater. This week, I want you to stop seeing rejection as a door slammed in your face—and start seeing it as God's way of building a hallway to the right one. You're not being denied; you're being defined. So stand tall, dust yourself off, and keep moving—because your “yes” is still on the way.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Rejection isn’t the end. It’s part of your refinement. Disappointment isn’t your defeat. It’s divine direction.” – Reginald D.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE – The Bounce Back Assignment
This week, I challenge you to do what rejection tried to stop you from doing.
✅ Step 1: Revisit one idea, dream, or opportunity you put on the shelf.
✅ Step 2: Take one small, intentional action toward it—send the email, make the call, write the page.
✅ Step 3: Journal how it felt to move in faith, not fear.
Don’t let disappointment define you—let it drive you.
THIS WEEK’S MANTRA – Say It Until You Believe It
“I am not the closed door. I am the key.”
“Everything meant for me is still on its way to me.”
Repeat it. Walk in it. Watch things shift.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT – Real Talk, Real Impact
Shoutout to Angela B. from Charlotte, NC, who wrote in to say:
“After listening to the episode on purpose, I finally started my blog! I’ve wanted to do it for years but let fear and rejection talk me out of it. Thank you for being the voice that reminded me I’m still called!”
Angela, you’re living proof that obedience opens doors. Keep going—we see you!
FAITH AND FUN CORNER - Because God Has a Sense of Humor Too
Why did the prayer warrior bring a ladder to church?
Because they heard the sermon was on another level 🙌😄
What do you call it when God changes your plan last minute?
A “holy plot twist.”
FUN THOUGHT OF THE WEEK – For the Heart & the Mind
If God can turn water into wine…He can turn your delay into a destiny move. Sometimes the waiting room is really just a launchpad in disguise.

CLOSING SCRIPTURE
Father, thank You for being near when I feel rejected, discouraged, or overlooked. Help me see closed doors as redirection, not rejection. Show me how to walk boldly in purpose even when I feel uncertain. Heal every wound, silence every lie, and remind me daily that I am chosen, equipped, and called. In Jesus' name—Amen.
That’s it for this week, family. Stay grounded in grace, laser-focused on purpose, and keep faithing it until you make it.
