Description

Ever flip back through an old journal and immediately cringe? You're not the only one. 

In this episode, we explore why revisiting past entries can stir up shame—and how to approach those pages with compassion instead of criticism. 

If you're carrying regret, embarrassment, or old emotions you're not sure what to do with, this gentle conversation will help you see your past self the way God does. As always, a simple journal prompt is waiting for you at the end.
