When My Mind Won’t Move On
Feeling stuck replaying something you said or did — even after you’ve apologized, even after God has forgiven you?
This week in our Headspace series, we’re talking about guilt, shame, and the moments your mind just will not move on.
Here’s the core idea: God isn’t asking you to live in your past. He’s calling you forward.
From Isaiah 43, we see God tell His people, “Forget the former things… I am doing a new thing.” He’s not saying “pretend it never happened.” He’s saying, “Stop letting it define you. I’m not done with you.”
In this message we walk through:
• The difference between guilt and shame
– Guilt: “I did something wrong.” (from God, meant to lead you back to Him)
– Shame: “I am something wrong.” (from the enemy, meant to keep you stuck)
• Why you still feel heavy even after you’ve confessed it
• How to finally lay it down and stop punishing yourself
• How to start living like you’re actually forgiven
If you’ve ever thought, “I know God forgives people…but not this, not me,” this one’s for you.
God has already thrown that weight in the ocean. You don’t have to carry it anymore. He is doing a new thing — right now.
