Welcome to our latest series, "Don't Look Back," where we draw inspiration from the biblical story of Lot's wife, who was transformed into a pillar of salt for looking back at Sodom and Gomorrah. Join me, Jaquilla, as we explore the profound lesson of letting go of the past and moving forward without being held back by past mistakes, shame, or guilt. I'll share personal experiences, such as my journey through divorce and dropping out of college, illustrating how these events once shackled me until I learned to embrace God's forgiveness and release my own self-judgment. Reflect on what you might be holding onto and discover how true freedom and growth emerge when we embrace God's command to let go.

Listen in as we discuss the transformative journey of moving beyond past mistakes to embrace a future filled with promise and hope. We'll highlight the power of acknowledging our past actions and God's forgiveness, inspired by biblical passages like 1 John 1:9 and Romans 8:1. Discover how renewing our minds with positive affirmations and scripture can release us from guilt and shame, helping us recognize our worth in God's eyes. We emphasize the importance of community support, whether through faith-based groups or therapy, and the guiding role of the Holy Spirit. Concluding with inspiration from Philippians 3:13-14, we're encouraged to press forward towards the ultimate goal of eternal life, leaving the past behind and embracing the new.
