A proposito di questo titolo

 Welcome to the Say Goodbye And Imagine podcast! In this podcast, we invite you to step into a world where freedom from the psychological slavery of alcohol and other substances isn't just a dream—it's a reality. Through the power of shared stories and unfolding faith, God reveals the amazing gifts and promises waiting for us all when we stop drinking or remove something toxic from our lives. Through Say Goodbye And Imagine you are invited into a Christian community where triumph over alcohol or other substances is not only possible… it's happening every day through faith and the power of God's Word! Feel a profound connection with others who have walked the same rocky path yet found solid ground by putting biblically-based principles and God at the center of their journey to freedom. Imagine replacing the weight of guilt and isolation with the lightness of grace and companionship through a shared Chirstian community seeking alcohol freedom. Through the testimony of our podcast community, you can discover how the Holy Spirit moves powerfully in the lives of those who have surrendered their struggles and embraced a journey of true transformation with God at the helm. Witness the transformative power of Jesus Christ while you gain insight into the lies of the enemy. Through each episode, you'll be equipped with biblically based strategies that others have used to prioritize their spiritual well-being and expose the lies embedded in a toxic habit that is also trying to control your life. Ultimately, each episode guides you to a place where being alcohol-free is just the beginning of your newfound freedom--showing you the amazing world of promise and possibility through God's grace when alcohol is successfully set aside. Say Goodbye And Imagine shares the firsthand victories of those who have broken free from the psychological slavery of alcohol or other substances. Our greatest hope is to share these stories of triumph so you can draw inspiration and courage from their stories. But our podcast doesn't just offer hope—it showcases the real, tangible outcomes of lives transformed by faith and the collective strength of a community that believes in second chances. Warning: our Say Goodbye And Imagine podcast is a little different. We don't use words that create shame or a negative identity. So, in our podcast we don't use vocabulary like alcoholic or alcoholism, alcohol addiction or alcohol recovery, recovery or recovering, sober or sobriety, addict or addiction, powerless or powerlessness, and other words that take away our identity in God. Since we are remade in the image of God, we seek an identity that is empowering through Him. Although we respect & honor groups like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), Celebrate Recovery, and sober rehabilitation centers, our topics tend to be very individual, focusing on the unique journey of each participant. What is not unique is the common thread of the power of the Holy Spirit at work in each episode. If you desire to quit drinking or have been searching for ways to reconnect with God, then please tune in. Hear the amazing success stories of Christians just like you who decided to choose freedom from alcohol or other substances. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Rose Ann Forte is the host of Say Goodbye and Imagine. Rose Ann had reached a point in her own life when she realized that alcohol was stealing from her and understood that God had a much better plan for her.

    Jan 19 2026

    Ep 73 - A Wisdom Series Conversation Inspired by the YouVersion Devotional "Choosing Wisdom for Men"

    In this episode of Say Goodbye and Imagine!, Rose Ann Forte continues her wisdom series with a thoughtful conversation on godly decision making, time, and spiritual foundation—topics that deeply resonate with women navigating relationships, leadership, family, and personal growth.

    Joined by writer and business leader Dan Snider, Rose Ann explores Choosing Wisdom for Men, a new five-day devotional now available on the YouVersion Bible App. While written specifically for men, this devotional powerfully impacted Rose Ann as a woman, offering biblical wisdom that applies to anyone seeking clarity, stability, and discernment in everyday decisions.

    Together, they reflect on Scripture passages that challenge us to slow down, trust God rather than our own understanding, and examine the foundation we're building our lives on. This episode speaks especially to women carrying layered responsibilities who desire to make wise, faith-centered decisions without rushing, striving, or relying on willpower alone.

    Rose Ann closes with three reflective questions to help listeners apply biblical wisdom to real-life choices in the week ahead.

  • The Wisdom of Not Walking Alone

    The Wisdom of Not Walking Alone
    Jan 5 2026

    Ep 72 - As we begin a new year, many people quietly reflect on what they want to change—how they want to feel, who they want to become, and which habits no longer serve them. In this episode of Say Goodbye and Imagine, Rose Ann Forte continues the Wisdom Series by exploring why community plays a critical role in lasting change.

    Drawing from Acts 2:42, this episode examines how the early believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer—and why faith was never meant to be practiced in isolation. Rose Ann shares personal stories from churches, Bible studies, mission trips, and small groups, highlighting how intentional community creates safety, accountability, and growth.

    The episode also addresses an important balance: Scripture calls us out of isolation, but not into reckless vulnerability. Discernment matters. Not every community is safe for every struggle, and wisdom requires listening to the Holy Spirit when deciding where and with whom to share.

    Whether you're rethinking your relationship with alcohol, other habits, or simply seeking greater clarity and support, this episode offers a grounded reminder: wisdom doesn't grow in isolation—it grows in community.

    Scripture referenced: Acts 2:42 (NLT)
    All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer.

  • Compassion, Justice, and the Choices That Shape Generations

    Compassion, Justice, and the Choices That Shape Generations
    Dec 22 2025
    Ep 71 - A wisdom devotional on God's nature, generational impact, and choosing obedience Episode Summary In this episode of Say Goodbye and Imagine, Rose Ann walks listeners through a powerful wisdom devotional rooted in Exodus 34:6–8, where God declares His own name and nature: compassionate, merciful, slow to anger, faithful — and just. This passage reveals a holy tension we often struggle to hold: God's unfailing love alongside real consequences for unrepentant sin. Rose Ann reflects on how Scripture repeatedly shows God patiently warning, inviting, and calling His people back — not to shame them, but to protect them and the generations that follow. She then connects Scripture with modern science, explaining how behavioral modeling, stress responses, epigenetics, and habit formation confirm what the Bible has always taught: our choices ripple outward. What we practice doesn't stop with us. The episode closes with reflective questions designed to help listeners consider patterns, obedience, and the legacy they are shaping — followed by a gentle reminder that support is available when these questions feel hard to resolve alone. Key Scripture Exodus 34:6–8 (NLT) The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, "Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations." Moses immediately threw himself to the ground and worshiped. Topics discussed - God declaring His own name and characterCompassion, mercy, patience, and faithfulnessGod's justice and the purpose of consequencesGenerational impact of choices and behaviorsScience supporting biblical wisdom (epigenetics, modeling, stress response)Choosing obedience as generational stewardship Reflection Questions (from the episode) What behaviors, beliefs, or coping patterns are you currently modeling for others?Where might God be inviting you to choose obedience for the sake of those who come after you?What consequences of disobedience do you hope end with you?
