    How to Break Free from the Pain of Past Experiences (Part 1 of 2)

    Date: Sep 23, 2025

    Guests: Erwin Lutzer

    Regret can be a crushing burden that keeps you tethered to our past. Maybe you’re still dealing with the consequences of mistakes made by you or others in your life. Even though the past is irreversible, Christ offers you healing from your hurt and shame! Dr. Erwin Lutzer shares how to confront your past, discard the weight of any false or real guilt, and move forward in God’s grace and forgiveness.
