You can have high blood pressure and not know it. That’s why it’s called the “silent killer.”

Shame works much the same way.

You may not think you struggle with shame. But if you battle insecurity, self-doubt, comparison, defensiveness, perfectionism, fear of failure, or the constant need to prove yourself, the signs may already be there.

In this episode of Truly a Masterpiece, Craig shares the story of discovering he had high blood pressure—and why his initial denial taught him something important about shame.

You’ll discover why shame isn’t a sign of weakness, why even successful and accomplished men struggle with it, and why you can’t outperform your way to freedom.

You can’t overcome shame by proving you are enough. Freedom begins when you stop trying to prove yourself and begin trusting what God says is true.

Craig closes the episode by leading you in a simple prayer of confession to help you take the first step out of denial and toward freedom.
