I’m sharing another release from the secret project I’ve been developing behind the scenes. In this deep dive, we tackle something that holds so many of us back, but we rarely talk about it: Shame and Guilt.
Did you know there is a massive psychological and biblical difference between the two? Guilt says, 'I did something bad,' but Shame says, 'I am fundamentally bad and defective'.
In this episode, we look at the 'Hiding Condition' that started all the way back in Genesis 3—how shame physically and spiritually forces us into secrecy, silence, and isolation.
We look at modern research showing that shame cannot survive empathy, and we pair that with the ultimate ancient antidote: Romans 8:1.
We explore what it actually means to have the legal verdict of 'condemnation' completely removed, and how the story of the Prodigal Son proves that God wants to restore your identity before you even finish apologizing.
There is so much more I am digging into here regarding how we restructure our core beliefs and find true freedom. If this hits close to home, or if this kind of deep dive sparks something in you, I would love to connect and talk with you about it.
Honestly. Let me know. Otherwise, enjoy the episode!
