171. What is the difference between moving on and moving forward?

About this episode

Rodney Holmstrom discusses the importance of understanding the difference between moving on and moving forward in the recovery journey.

A question that might come up in the Recovery journey is "why should I deal with my past? Doesn't Paul say we should forget the past and strain forward?" Understanding the difference between getting stuck in our past and honoring our past with the whole goal of moving forward with a new purpose is essential to walking in freedom or staying stuck in our past trauma and pain. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will walk us through a conversation on what it looks like to understand the difference between staying stuck in our past and honoring our past so that God can bring redemption and restoration so that we can walk in Freedom.
