When persecution hits—from smear campaigns to social backlash—how should Christians respond? In this Spiritual Insurgency conversation, host Jason Lupo sits down with Jayson Graves—former registered psychotherapist, now a Personal Coach—to unpack his story of professional backlash, state licensing battles, and how a Christian should respond when culture turns hostile. From the erroneous 2016 complaint that triggered board actions, to stepping away from licensure, to rebuilding life and work in Arizona, Jayson details the costs, the lessons, and the surprising blessings that came through persecution—and why “loving your enemies” isn’t optional for believers. Jayson unpacks a biblical, practical path through opposition: take responsibility, love your enemies, and look for God’s redemption in the middle of the storm.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

Why Scripture calls the persecuted “blessed,” and how to actually live that out

The hard work of forgiveness and praying for those who persecute you

Guarding a good name—why character + wise protection both matter

Defeating doubt and fear that creep in during trials

Turning pain into purpose: finding your redemptive assignment (for your family, church, or community)

Candid stories from campaigns, public pressure, and learning to stand firm without becoming bitter

Key ideas & quotes

“Blessed are you when you are persecuted.” → Counterintuitive, but crucial for resilience

“Protect your good name” → Steward your reputation the way you would any valuable asset

“Love your enemies; pray for those who persecute you.” → Not platitudes—battle plans

“Pain is a teacher.” → Let God redeem losses into ministry and maturity

If you’re facing cancellation, slander, or institutional pressure, this conversation offers handles to heal, rebuild, and move forward—without surrendering truth or compassion.
