Join me as we continue our chat about nostalgia on this episode of New Creation Stories. I explore why we tend to remember the good times and forget the painful ones - a phenomenon psychologists call "rosy retrospection."
After receiving an Instagram message, I share my personal experience with nostalgic feelings and discuss the spiritual challenges and valuable lessons I learned. Discover how God uses our past experiences for healing and growth and learn practical faith-based approaches to processing nostalgic emotions.
This episode examines how every part of our life story, including the difficult chapters, has significance in God's plan.
