Today's episode of the Build Your Brave podcast breaks down the destructive power of shame and how it keeps us from walking in our God-given purpose. Megan shares her personal battle with shame, revealing how easily we can spiral into self-condemnation.

Whether you're currently wrestling with shame, find yourself shrinking back from your calling, or simply need a reminder of God's perspective on your imperfections, this episode offers both compassionate truth and practical wisdom for moving forward.

Trading shame for freedom isn't just possible—it's exactly what you were created for. 🩷

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

👉🏼 Shame makes us want to hide, while God created us to shine
👉🏼 When accusatory self-talk comes ("you, you, you"), it's likely the enemy's voice, not God's gentle correction
👉🏼 "For freedom you have been set free"—stop picking up chains that Jesus already broke
👉🏼 Healing comes in the light—confession and community break shame's power of isolation
👉🏼 You don't need to forgive yourself—you need to receive the forgiveness already given through Christ
