This week, Kristin tackles the painful “if only” thoughts that pull us into regret, shame, depression, and self-condemnation. These intrusive thoughts are a subtle but powerful tactic of the enemy, designed to shift our trust away from God and keep us stuck in the past. Kristin shares biblical insight, personal stories, and practical tools to help you recognize and reject these lies so you can walk confidently in God’s goodness, mercy, and sovereignty. You’ll learn how “if only” thinking distorts your perception, challenges God’s character, and keeps you from experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10. Through Scripture and reflection, Kristin guides you back to truth—reminding you that God is able to redeem every mistake and work all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). ✨ Don’t forget to download the free Reflection Guide at www.thekristincampbell.com. ✨ And mark your calendar: New weekly episodes begin airing Mondays starting January 5, 2026!

From Regret to Redemption: Releasing the "If Onlys"
In today’s powerful episode, Kristin dives into the trap of “if only” thoughts—the mental loops that often lead to regret, shame, sadness, and self-hatred. Whether it sounds like “If only I had made a different choice…” or “If only I weren’t so __…”, these thoughts attack the very core of who we are and who God says He is. Kristin explains how the enemy uses these thoughts to distort your perspective, challenge God’s goodness, and lure you into believing that your past disqualifies you from God’s plans.
Drawing from relatable personal experiences and biblical examples—including Martha’s grief in John 11 and Jeremiah’s honest anguish—Kristin shows that these struggles are not new and that even spiritual giants faced them. Yet, God consistently responds with compassion, truth, and redemption.
Kristin walks listeners through:
You’ll be reminded that God is fully in control of your past, present, and future—and nothing you’ve done can overturn His good plans for your life (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28). Because He is eternal, He still has access to the places where you feel stuck. When you surrender your regrets to Him, He redeems them—turning your “if onlys” into testimonies of grace.
Kristin closes the episode by grounding listeners in Psalm 77:11–15, urging them to remember God’s faithfulness and step into the abundant life Jesus came to give (John 10:10).
