Shed Shame

May 28, 2023 • 35 mins

There are predictable directions we head when we feel the sting of shame. If we don't share it and shed it, it moves us to cover up, hide out, blame, or justify and excuse. At the heart of shame is alienation, and it can lead up to self-harm or annihilation. If we face it and share it, it opens us to grace. Grace is the favor we do not deserve, and at the heart of grace is acceptance and affection. We cannot heal our own shame. It ...

Shame - Condemnation or Invitation?

May 27, 2023 • 31 mins

Shame is a universally painful experience we feel when we become aware of our inadequacy, our brokenness, our failures, and flaws. It can push us down into isolation and drive us deep into disconnection and alienation. At its worst, it can lead to annihilation.

Growing with God 3- Yield to Him

February 11, 2013 • 35 mins

Growing with God 2 - Feel Your Pain

February 4, 2013 • 35 mins
In the second beatitude, Jesus extols the virtue of grieving. When we have invested emotionally in something and lose it, we must mourn to let go. Ironically, grieving the past prepares us to embrace the future. Avoiding our feelings allows them to control us, but when face them and cast our cares on God, we find He calls us near.
