REAL TALK WEEKLY
Hey Real Talk Family,
Welcome to a new week filled with promise, purpose, and power. As we dive deeper into June, I want to remind you: what tried to break you has no clue what it's up against. God is still writing your story—and He’s not done yet. If you’re still here, that means there’s more for you.
Let this be your week of reset, reignition, and redirection. Because this journey isn’t about who left, what didn’t happen, or what fell apart. It’s about who you’re becoming through it all.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE – Bounce Back Like You Never Left
This week, I challenge you to turn rejection into movement.
✅ Step 1: Identify one area you’ve been holding back due to fear of being rejected again.
✅ Step 2: Do ONE bold thing in that area—apply, reach out, speak up.
✅ Step 3: Journal how that act of faith made you feel—and what it woke up in you.
You’re not here to play it safe. You’re here to grow past the version of you rejection tried to build.
🙏 THIS WEEK’S PRAYER
Father, thank You for the closed doors that were actually divine detours. Remind me that rejection doesn’t reduce my value—it reveals Your protection. Heal the parts of me that still wonder why I wasn’t chosen and strengthen the faith in me to believe that what’s for me won’t miss me. Amen.
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
THIS WEEK’S MANTRA – Speak Life Over Yourself
“I am not what they didn’t see—I am what God already declared.”
“Every rejection is a redirection toward something greater.”
Say it. Believe it. Walk in it.
FAITH & FUN CORNER
Why didn’t Jonah trust the ocean?
Because he knew something fishy was going on. 🐋😄
What’s a Christian’s favorite kind of workout?
CrossFit… because we all carry something heavy until we give it to God. 💪🏽✝️
FUN THOUGHT OF THE WEEK:
God doesn’t waste rejection—He recycles it into revelation. That “no” didn’t break you. It built a version of you that’s finally ready for the “yes.”

Fam, rejection didn’t come to destroy you. It came to distinguish you. Keep fighting. Keep believing. And remember…You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken. You are favored.
With purpose and power,
