Situation
Being Fired — Unjustly
You didn't deserve this. And you still have to decide who you're going to be on the way out — and in the months that follow.
In the moment
The day it happens
Attitudes
I hold together two things: this was wrong, and God is still sovereign
I do not say or do anything on the way out that I will regret
I do not make permanent decisions about the relationship while the wound is still fresh
Actions
I leave with my integrity intact — what I say and do on the way out is part of my witness
I bring the shock and anger to God before I take it to social media
I tell one trusted person what happened — I do not carry this alone
Over time
The weeks and months that follow
Attitudes
I resist the pull toward bitterness — it will cost me more than it costs them
I do not let someone else's injustice turn me into someone I do not want to be
I remain open to how God might use this — Joseph did not see it at the time either
Actions
I pursue appropriate recourse calmly and without vengeance as the motive
I tell my story without exaggerating — the truth is enough
I pray for the people who did this — not to excuse it, but to stay free
