Equipped! To Forget The Past

Sometimes the awful, shameful things of our past can hinder us from fulfilling God's incredible plans for us. But, can it be that it isn't only the bad things of our past that keep us from moving forward? Here's what's happening in this episode:Segment: Did You Hear About This?In this segment I take a look at an issue taking place in our world and suggest how we - as disciples of Jesus - should respond to it. In today's segment, I reflect on how, apparently, social media platforms are blocking Christian voices for expressing biblical values.Here's the article I mention in the segment: Big Tech Blocks Disagreement with Transgender Ideology – Christians Must Continue to Lovingly Speak the TruthSegment: Equipping TimeThis is the portion of the episode when we analyze a portion of Scripture. What we're looking for are principles that will help us grow as disciples of Jesus. In today's Equipping Time, we take a look at Isaiah 43:16-21.
