<p><strong>Life leaves a mark.</strong></p><p>In this message from the Step In series, we talk about the pain, patterns, and shame that follow us from our past. Often without realizing it, we make inner vows to survive hurt and rejection, and those vows slowly shape who we become.</p><p>Through personal stories and Scripture, this sermon invites us into the healing journey back to our true selves. Stepping out of the past is not instant, but it is possible. Jesus offers forgiveness, restoration, and an abundant life that starts now and stretches into forever.</p><p>If you feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from who you were created to be, this message is for you.</p><p><strong>Want to go deeper? </strong>The mid-week Step In podcast from Southside Church helps you pause, refocus, and lean into the abundant life Jesus offers. Not just as a future promise, but as a present reality. Each episode continues the conversation from Sunday and helps you take your next step.</p><p>Listen at southsidelife.com/step-in</p><p><br></p>
