Let's face it: we all have moments from our past in which we regret.  Sometimes these past decisions can still taunt us after we have repented and have come to Jesus.  However, we know that isn't how God wants us to live.  In today's society, the term "My body, My choice" is used greatly to defend one's decision to proceed with abortion.  Sadly, hardly ever is considered the aftermath of the decision.  In today's discussion, Lynett Cater shares her experience along with how God brought her through dealing with her past and truly experiencing God's forgiveness.

Some of our most biggest battles are often times the most hidden. We tend to hide them from people out of shame and guilt and most times it discourages us from even approaching God.

In today's sexualized culture, is purity still something God values and should we really make it a priority in our lives?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside *every weight and sin* which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us - Hebrews 12:1.  Our walk in Christ can be hindered sometimes by things in our lives that hold us back, including sin we have yet to address.  In today's conversation, you'll hear how Jovel Dennis identified areas that hindered her walk with God for years and how God helped her overcome.

In a world that dictates what is right, we must stand firm on God's word and hold to our convictions regardless of what everyone around us is doing.  What does it mean to have personal convictions and how does it impact our growth and walk with Jesus?

It's easy to believe that because we are "good people" in society that somehow God overlooks the sin in our lives. Believe it or not, no where in the bible does it state being a "good person" makes us right before God. But how easy it is to believe in this lie. In today's discussion, guest speaker Akira shares her story of how she came to understand her hope for salvation could not be found in her good works, but in Jesus alone.
