    EP 175 | Breaking the Curse of Rejection with Apostle Ivory Hopkins: Deliverance, Trauma, and Kingdom Identity
    Feb 15 2026
    Apostle Dr. Ivory Hopkins joins Talks with Gallagher to unpack his new book “The Curse of Rejection” and share over 40 years of deliverance and counseling wisdom on rejection, trauma, and identity.​

    He explains the difference between emotional rejection and a demonic spirit, how wounds from childhood, unwanted pregnancies, absent fathers, and abuse shape the soul, and how the Father’s affirmation breaks the orphan mindset.​

    We also explore rejection in marriage and ministry, soul fragments, boundaries with toxic parents, and what real freedom from rejection looks like in everyday life.​

    Perfect for listeners seeking inner healing, balanced deliverance teaching, and a deeper revelation of sonship and daughtership in Christ.​

    DescriptionIn this episode of Talks with Gallagher, filmmaker, author, and “media sensei” Craig D. Forest unpacks his travel memoir Night Train to Cairo: A Filmmaker’s Journey Across the Globe, filled with border crossings, missed trains, spiritual encounters, and behind‑the‑scenes lessons from decades of international documentary work. From Iraq’s war zones and voodoo ceremonies in Haiti to exorcisms in Argentina and undercover shoots on sex trafficking in Cuba, Craig reveals both the danger and beauty of telling truthful stories in some of the world’s hardest places—while showing how God’s protection and guidance have marked every step.​Craig also shares practical wisdom for emerging creatives and ministry leaders: why media is today’s global mission field, how to prepare for overseas shoots, the power of rewriting, and why significance for God’s kingdom matters more than worldly “success.” If you’re a storyteller, filmmaker, pastor, or creative leader, this conversation will stir your faith and sharpen your craft.​If this helped you, follow, rate, and share the show.
