How do we move forward when we are going through the struggles and holding onto regret?

Lay it down at the foot of the cross.

“for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose,” Phillippians 2:13

Hold onto God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Lean on Him and know that He will hold your hand through the storm. Make no room for regret. Instead, trust. And finally, know that our purpose is to know our Lord Jesus and make Him known. Let His will be done and trust in the Lord.

If you grew up like me you may have witnessed firsthand all the positive, the negative, the trials, freedom, heartache, loss, and possibly triumph involved leaving the only thing you ever knew about God. It is not an easy road. This is my experience, and while it is unique to me, I have found through talking to so many men and women who left the Church there are similarities in our stories. These Stages of Grief are common and part of the landscape of this unique journey we call faith. And here is the question… Did you leave God? Did God leave you? We are unpacking the stages of grief after leaving the church in today’s podcast. Let’s dive in.
