We all face regret amid life's changes and losses, feeling the weight of missed opportunities and moments. The good news is that we also have a redemptive God who does not want us to be held captive by anything but his love. In today’s podcast, Stasi shares candidly about regret and resentment and the healing power of faith and forgiveness. Friends, the power of Jesus on the cross is more than enough to carry us, and nothing is out of reach for our God. May Stasi's words inspire hope as she encourages you to lean into God as his beloved and embrace his promise to make all things new.
