  • Embracing emotions and seeking wise counsel leads to healing

  • The past may never be forgotten, but it can be grown through

The pain will change. Maybe you write in your journal, I'm in a grieving season and this pain will change. What a great gift that he's given us with the sun rising and ascending from the earth. So it is a new day, a new opportunity to breathe his power, his strength as we face the pain again today.
How do you move past your past without denying it? In this episode of 'Hope in Recovery', Rodney Holmstrom dives into this profound question, drawing inspiration from the book of Philippians. Rodney breaks down the concept of 'forgetting the former things' and 'straining ahead', offering a refreshing perspective on acknowledging and honoring our pain as a vital step towards healing. He emphasizes that moving forward isn't about erasing our memories but about growing through them.
Rodney's approach is deeply empathetic, recognizing that some experiences are too significant to simply 'get over'. Instead, he encourages embracing these moments, processing emotions, and seeking wise counsel. By comparing life's challenges to the beauty of sunrises and sunsets, Rodney reassures listeners of the new day's potential and God's ever-present grace and mercy. This episode is perfect for anyone grappling with their past, looking for strength and comfort in their journey towards a hopeful future.
