The Diary of a Discarded Daughter - Redeeming a Painful Past
Welcome to the Diary of a Discarded Daughter (formerly titled "The Chronicles of the Christian Drama Queen") Diary of a Discarded Daughter is hosted by Lisa Schafer—a woman who has walked through forty years of abandonment, childhood s**ual abuse, and the long, messy road to healing.
This podcast takes a raw, authentic, heartfelt, and often humorous look at the deep wounds left by being unprotected, unloved, and unwanted. Abandoned and abused as a child, Lisa Schafer, Founder of Christian Drama Queen Solutions, shares the wounds that shaped her choices, her faith, and her understanding of God, as well as the healing and redemption Jesus gave her during her 40-year search for answers to painful questions. If you’ve ever struggled to "let go" of trauma or wrestled with bitterness, Lisa offers a seat at the table.
Through candid conversations, spiritual insights, and her signature wit (often at her own expense), Lisa creates a space for women to dig deeper into their walk with Jesus. Whether you're drowning in past pain or just beginning to confront it, she offers encouragement, truth, and an open invitation to get real about the hard stuff—without shame.
Lisa Schafer is the author of two Bible studies on forgiveness:
📖 DISCARDED – A Daughter’s Journey to Reclaim Freedom and Forgive the Father Who Left Her Behind
📖 The Christian Victim’s Guide to Forgiving the Unforgivable
(Both available on Amazon.)

Addressing the Myth of Self-Worth? What Does the Bible Say About It?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Modern culture constantly tells us to “know your worth” and find value within yourself—but does the Bible actually teach self-worth?
In this episode, Lisa explores the biblical perspective on worthiness, identity, and grace. While society promotes the idea that we possess inherent worth that deserves blessing, Scripture presents a different reality: our hope, identity, and acceptance come through Jesus Christ alone.
Have you ever challenged this modern idea of self-esteem and self-worth? Lisa shares how the Bible shows us that the blessings we receive from God are not based on our own worthiness but on the finished work of Christ.
If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about identity, grace, worthiness, or what the Bible really says about our value before God, this conversation will help you see the gospel in a clearer light.
Topics covered:
- Is “self-worth” a biblical concept?
- What Scripture actually says about human worthiness
- Why Christ—not ourselves—is the source of our identity
- The difference between cultural self-esteem and the gospel
