Your past doesn't have to be the end of your story. God's will is still possible as you choose to walk forward with Him.

You'll hear me share my own journey of moving beyond unhealthy relationship patterns and learning to trust God with an unknown future. If you're choosing to do things differently, either healing from past mistakes or have always desired to honor God by waiting for marriage, you are not alone.

Together, we'll talk about some of the fears and struggles that can come with choosing God's way:

• Waiting on God's timing when you're afraid the future you hope for may never happen
• Breaking unhealthy relationship patterns and wondering whether you have what it takes to do things differently
• Overcoming temptation when you've experienced physical intimacy before and are now choosing abstinence until marriage
• Trusting God with an unknown future, even when you fear you may never get married
• Standing firm in your decision to wait when others don't understand your choice

This episode also touches on God's design for physical intimacy, unintended pregnancy, and the sensitive subject of abortion, with a message of God's grace, healing, and restoration for every woman whose past includes experiences or decisions she wishes had been different.

No matter where you've been or what your story looks like today, God can meet you right where you are and lead you forward. Your journey doesn't have to be defined by your past. There is hope, healing, and a future as you continue walking with Him.
