ITL274: How to Move on from a Horrific Past

In this episode, we discuss a listener’s question about moving forward from a horrific childhood and mending broken relationships.

 

Sometimes when you feel like something is holding you back—it’s actually you.

• This is good news, though, because you have control.

 

There’s always someone out there who had it worse.

• Your past made you who you are today.
• You can use your story to give valuable perspective to others.
• God can take horrible situations and make great things out of them.
• Look for things to be grateful for.

 

There’s a major difference between apologizing and asking forgiveness.

• We apologize when we make a mistake—but we ask for forgiveness when we make a bad choice.
• If someone doesn’t forgive you, you don’t have to continue spending time with them.

 

Tune in to hear the story of a horrendous set of events that lead to the birth of a great king.
