    Selena and Hailey

    Do memories from the past ever sneak up and weigh on your heart?

    In today's episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña leads us through a thoughtful look at the power of moving forward and letting go. Using the real-life drama between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber as a modern-day parable, we'll explore together why dwelling on the past can be so damaging, and what God’s word teaches us about stepping boldly into a new season. Through scriptures like Luke 9:62 and Isaiah 43:18, we’ll uncover practical wisdom for releasing old hurts, forgiving ourselves and others, and embracing the fresh start God offers each of us.

    We invite you to join our community in prayer and devotion as we choose forgiveness, let go of yesterday, and declare freedom in the new day God is creating.
