    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.​
