Dealing with Rejection

Jul 13, 2025    Pastor Doug Gilford

Have you ever felt the pain of being passed over—even when you were qualified, prepared, and passionate? You're not alone. In Acts 1, two faithful disciples, Matthias and Joseph Barsabas Justus, both met every requirement to become the next apostle. Yet, only Matthias was chosen.

How do we handle rejection when we’ve done everything right? What if God's plan leads us down a path we didn't expect? In this episode, we’ll uncover the quiet strength found in surrendering our plans to God’s greater purpose. Discover how to navigate disappointment, avoid the trap of emotional reactions, and confidently trust in the Spirit’s guidance—even when the answer is “no.”
