Episode notes
- Shame Drives Us to Hide
- Shame uses three moves to isolate us: We cover our flaws with busyness, hide by withdrawing from community, and blame others to shift the spotlight
- Fear is the engine of denial: We hide not because of arrogance, but because we fear being fully seen will lead us to rejection.
- God Invites Us Into Healing
- Answer the question: "Where are you?" God's question is not an accusation or a request for information, but an invitation for you to be honest about your location.
- Exchange your fig leaves for God's covering. Replace flimsy self-made performances and "spiritual perfectionism" with the lasting restoration provided by Christ.
