The Hater's Job Description


By Jackie Overstreet August 7, 2025

Why Opposition Confirms You're on the Right Track

Here's what I've learned about people who come after you: they're doing their job.


I used to waste energy trying to understand why people do what they do. Why they smile

in your face but won't lift a finger to help. Why they target you when you're minding your

own business.


Then a comedian said something that changed my perspective: "Haters gotta do their

job. Let them do their job."


Nobody comes after you unless you're doing something worth targeting.


The resistance you face isn't random. It's strategic. When you start operating in the

purpose Jesus Christ designed for you, you become a threat to the enemy's agenda.


Even minding your own business bothers other people when your business is aligned

with God's design for your life. The worst kind of opposition smiles in your face. Knowing they could help you get over the top, but choosing to do just enough to look supportive without actually supporting.


This isn't about becoming paranoid. It's about becoming wise.


Jesus warned us that we'd face opposition. Not because we're doing something wrong,

but because we're doing something right.


Your productivity threatens their complacency. Your progress exposes their excuses.

Your alignment with Christ's purpose challenges their compromise.


What resistance are you facing that might actually be confirmation you're on the right

track?

"I've Tried Everything. Nothing Works. "

If you've said this, you're not broken. You're just missing ONE piece.

Why the same situations keep showing up
How to stop the cycle without "doing more work on yourself"

"I saw my pattern on page 2. I literally gasped. This is why my relationships always end the same way."
