Send us a text When Lisa and Beth met for the first time, it was obvious they were sisters—not only in Christ, but also in experiences of abandonment and redemption. In this episode, Beth shares her story of being kidnapped by family at a very young age and how the Lord brought healing and hope back into her life. Since they are both veteran home-educators, they discuss some of the ways their self-worth impacted their kids, their attitudes toward purpose-filled living and a mindset of "lack."...

For Those Teachers that Gave The Discarded Daughter Purpose
Send us a text A very special episode, indeed! Today Lisa discusses the value two amazing women imparted to her at a time when she felt she had no value or purpose. Like many discarded daughters, we don't see the hope and future promised to us in Jeremiah 29, but God sends messengers to lead the way back to faith and purpose. This is my dedication to Jodi Lamb and Barbara Watson Jones, both free from the bonds of this earth but left a dramatic impact on my life. If you're ready t...

Is there such a thing as premature forgiveness? w/Pastoral Counselor, Stacy Echeverria
Send us a text This is an amazing interview, if I do say so myself. Recognizing trauma and grieving our loss of relationships, our expectations, our plans, is crucial for the healing process to begin. In this interview, Lisa and Stacy talk not only about understanding the damage that our perpetrators have also lived through, but also about equipping victims to understand the process to forgive. It's not accomplished with a snap of a finger. Where do the wounded begin? Listen now and kno...

I CAN'T FORGIVE THEM and you CAN'T Make me!
Send us a text As a victim of childhood trauma herself, Lisa is not being insensitive to the pain and shame that comes with suffering. But we can't avoid the command of the Lord to forgive. Would God command us to do something so difficult if He couldn't enable us to do it? And who's really getting hurt when we hand on to our bitterness? In this episode, Lisa shares the earth-shattering truth that rocked her perception of her bitterness and laid the groundwork for Christian Drama Queen Soluti...

Rage and How the Discarded Must Deal with it. 072525
Send us a text What a surprise to find out (during what was supposed to be the happiest time of my life, welcoming our new baby into the world) that I had terrible thoughts of rage, abuse and despair. But that's how many of us tossed aside or abused at a young age behave later in life, because we haven't dealt with our anger. And who are me mad at? Let's be honest now...is it the father who never wanted us, the abuser who destroyed our innocence—or the God Who allowed it to happen? And ...

Finding Intimacy with a Heavenly Father You Don't Trust

And make no mistake, good works and Christian activity are suppose to be a response to an intimate walk with the Lord, not a replacement. Note the podcast name change!

Father's Day is Painful for the Discarded Daughter - How the CDQ "Celebrates."
Send us a text Forgiven is NOT the Same as Forgotten I love being in fellowship with other believers. I love worshipping in song and praising Jesus with all my heart. So—I DO attend church. But some days are just harder than others. And for Discarded Daughters like me, Father's Day can be tough. It's not that I'm still angry. I'm not still bitter. But God gifts each of us with an amazing memory. Sometimes, recollecting a painful past can force us to re-live emotions we've already dealt with....

Is It Really Okay for Us To Walk Away? Cutting People Out - What Would Jesus Do?
Send us a text Lisa never claims to have all the answers. This became abundantly clear when she read through someone else's post on Facebook, expressing their comfort with cutting someone out of their life. We all deal with toxic relationships, and have probably had to simply turn our backs on someone we used to believe was a friend. But what would Jesus do? And whatever He would do, does He require or empower us to do the same? In this episode, Lisa shares briefly her own experience of...

Part 4 - What Keeps YOU Up at Night - Are You Worthy? A Surprising Answer
Send us a text Scripture has provided a resounding "NO!" in answer to the questions of whether we are unloved or unwanted (see parts 2 & 3 of this series). But what about the question of whether we are worthy? Deserving blessing? When feelings of unworthiness express themselves to the extreme, we can become self-abusive, prone to self-medicating our pain or succumb to addictions. We need to recognize what the Word of God says about our "worth." In this episode, Lisa opens the scriptures a...

Can You Homeschool? SHOULD You? The CDQ Was Interviewed Re: Her 25 Year HS Journey
Send us a text This episode is a little longer and a little different from Lisa's typical Drama Queen excursions. This week Lisa talks about her 25 years as a homeschooling mom. What led her to do it? Was God really calling her to the chaos and blessing of home education? Was it even legal 25 years ago? And were there any REAL benefits? Pros and cons alike, today we find answers, surprises and encouragement. Interviewer, Evelyn Owens, has a podcast of her own called The Christian Homeschool...

Sometimes the CDQ Says, "Yes," for All The Wrong Reasons
Send us a text Discarded Daughters struggle with the desire to be needed, wanted, loved, accepted...and often don't turn down opportunities to put out someone else's fire, when deep down they know they should. In this episode, Lisa shares her heartbreak over having to turn down an opportunity she was just certain had God's fingerprints all over it. Why was it so hard to say, "no," though? Was she desperate for approval, or maybe she was just too proud to admit her plate was too full? Coming...

They carry guilt, doubt, self-loathing, pain from a traumatic past, lack of trust in a God they've claimed to be devoted to, and more. She encourages the listener to dig in deep to the Word of God to find answers and to travel the journey of God-Discovery in this, and the next several weeks of episodes.

Aside from being heartbroken, we also had to let those babies go...knowing the situations they'd be going do might not be the safest places for them. Our hearts were engaged in every situation.
