Doable Discipleship

Shame is, without a doubt, one of the most difficult, devastating, negatively impactful, and yet human experiences. We all have felt and will feel shame in our lives – it’s a part of the human story going all the way back to Adam and Eve – and perhaps some of you are in an incredibly difficult spiral of shame right now. But what does shame tell us? We can’t deny the reality of shame, so what does it tell us about who we are, how we think and relate and process, and most importantly about who God is. 

In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Curt Thompson, author of many books including The Soul of Shame and host of the Being Known podcast. In this conversation, Jason and Curt talk about what shame really is, the difference between guilt and shame, the isolating and distancing effects of shame, the hope of grace, living in humility, the beauty of the Gospel as response to shame, and much more.
