In this episode, Ken Freire and Patrick Lowndes tackle a demoralizing experience that many young professionals face: applying to countless jobs and hearing nothing back. They unpack five harsh realities behind why HR may not be calling you back—and more importantly, how these have nothing to do with your value or identity in Christ. With practical insights and biblical encouragement, Ken and Patrick dismantle the lie that silence equals worthlessness and offer a freeing perspective for job seekers.
