Episode Summary: Breaking Free from the Past

We all have things in our past that try to hold us back—mistakes, failures, painful relationships, or even words spoken over us. It can feel like carrying around a heavy suitcase that we just can’t seem to put down. But here’s the truth: Your past doesn’t define you.


In this episode, we’ll talk about how to let go of what’s behind you so you can step into the future God has for you. If you’re struggling with regret, bitterness, or feeling stuck because of past wounds, this conversation will give you biblical encouragement and practical steps to move forward in freedom.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


✔️ How to stop letting the past define your present and future – and embrace your identity in Christ.


✔️ Why forgiveness is key to freedom – and how to release bitterness, even when it’s difficult.


✔️ How to set boundaries with toxic relationships – so you can protect your peace and keep growing.


✔️ Biblical truths about breaking free – including 2 Corinthians 5:17, Matthew 6:14-15, and Philippians 3:13-14.


Why You Should Listen:


You feel stuck in past mistakes, regrets, or wounds and want to know how to move forward.


You struggle with forgiving yourself or others and need encouragement to release the weight of the past.


You need help setting boundaries with people who continue to drag you down.


You’re ready to step into the freedom God has for you and stop replaying the past.
