Wish you could change the past like the scientist in 'The Time Machine'? Regret is a universal feeling, often like a "retrospective maze." In this first episode of a 3-part series, Pastor Gerold unpacks the theology and psychology of regret. Starting with James 1:14-15 (sin brings forth death), explore why regret can feel like an empty void. Delve into the Greek words lupē (emotional sorrow) and metamelomai (remorse/after-the-fact concern).

Pastor Gerold outlines when regret crosses into dangerous territory – becoming persistent, intense, maladaptive, or characterized by rumination – and discusses its potential links to serious psychological issues like depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, low self-esteem, and decision paralysis. Is regret just worldly sorrow? This episode lays the foundation.
