Listen "Episode 26: The Gift of Looking Back"
Episode Synopsis
There’s something sacred about reflection… not the kind that shames you for who you used to be, but the kind that helps you see how God was moving all along. In this week’s episode, we explore why looking back is actually a gift... especially when your past feels heavy, complicated, or hard to understand.
I share a moment with a mentor who once told me… “You’re looking at your past with today’s wisdom. Of course it doesn’t make sense.” That simple line shifted something in me. It helped me realize that reflection isn’t about judging who I was… it’s about recognizing who God was, even then.
This episode builds on our weekly theme of Reflection, and we’ll talk about how to look back without getting stuck, how to see God’s faithfulness in places you once overlooked, and how reflection becomes a pathway toward peace, clarity, and spiritual growth.
Whether you’re doing the devotional or simply following along on the podcast, this week’s encouragement invites you to slow down… take inventory… and notice the quiet ways God has been shaping your story.
In this episode:
Why reflection is more healing than you think
How God uses hindsight to strengthen our faith
The difference between remembering and reliving
One key takeaway that will help you move forward with clarity
If you’ve ever struggled with regret, shame, or the feeling that your past disqualifies you… I believe this episode will speak life into you today.
Tune in, take a breath, and let’s walk this week together.
