If your past is messing with your present—it’s not in the past. In this episode of Fully Alive, Pastor Jeff Kapusta shares a powerful message from his new book, Fully Alive, on how to break free from the pain, shame, and bondage of what’s behind you so you can step fully into what God has ahead.

Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and practical steps, Jeff reveals why so many believers are forgiven but not truly free—and how to change that. You’ll learn the three essential steps to release your past: face it, admit it, and replace it with God’s truth.

Whether your past is filled with mistakes you’ve made, hurts others have caused, or generational baggage you’ve inherited, this episode will challenge you to stop letting old wounds define you and start walking in the freedom Christ already paid for.
