In today’s episode of iOvercome, we’re talking about the danger of staring at the wrong things — and how the Ascension of Jesus calls us to look forward, not just upward.
In Acts 1, the disciples stood gazing into the sky as Jesus ascended — but two angels appeared and asked, “Why do you stand here looking into the sky?” Sometimes, we’re so fixated on what’s behind us or above us that we forget the mission right in front of us.

In today’s episode of iOvercome, we’re unpacking one of life’s most painful blessings: rejection.
What if the "no" you received wasn’t the end — but the redirection you needed? Today we explore how closed doors, unanswered prayers, and unexpected detours often lead us exactly where we were meant to be. Through stories of faith, failure, and fierce comebacks, we’ll show how rejection can be God’s way of realigning your purpose, not denying your worth.
Because every rejection isn’t a dead end — it’s a divine detour. You weren’t overlooked… you were redirected.
In today’s episode of iOvercome, we’re embracing the truth that you are a light on a hill — called to shine, not shrink.
Too often, life tries to dim our purpose, bury our potential, and convince us we have nothing to offer. But Jesus said otherwise. In this powerful episode, we unpack what it really means to be a light in a dark world — not perfect, but present, purposeful, and positioned to make a difference. Whether you're feeling unseen, unworthy, or uncertain, this is your reminder that your light matters.
