The Irish Exit: When You Leave Before You’re Missed

Have you ever quietly slipped out of a gathering, not because you were bored or rude, but because you were certain no one would notice you were gone? In this episode of Deep Water, Jackie and Christi talk about what it means to live an “Irish exit” in life — how old wounds, small lies, and quiet doubts about belonging can pull us toward the door before grace ever has a chance to reach us.

They unpack the roots of rejection, the ache of invisibility, and the beauty of a God who counts every hair on your head (even when you feel like background noise). From middle-school memories to grown-up faith, this conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered if they truly belong. Spoiler alert: you do.
