Hurt and Shame (49)
  1. We need redemption, and we receive it in our church community through God’s Word.
  2. We don’t flinch at sin. We speak Christ into it.
  3. As soon as people understand what crucifixion means, the cross becomes offensive.
  4. You are a soul. Not an algorithm. Not a hashtag. A soul knit together by a God who does not mock, does not abandon, and does not lie.
  5. What is it about the cross and its embrace of shame that informs and inspires Christians, who, for various reasons, might find themselves inscribed by shame, to no longer be shameful?
  6. We've found Katie Koplin, in the midst of moving into an old church, and working on her training to become a Christian counselor.
  7. Sin is a heavy thing to bear. Its jacket is shame, its medals are guilt.
  8. This month, we discuss the book "The Soul of Shame" by Dr. Curt Thompson. It was a really fun conversation, and Katie called it her top read of the year.
  9. We finally finish up our conversation on birth by talking about postpartum and breastfeeding vs formula.
  10. Jesus purifies His own and ends their identification as unfit to appear in His presence or in front of other people as the person we identify as our true self.
  11. What if you could have a conversation with someone who was theologically sound, a great communicator, and an experienced licensed therapist to talk about the emotions we struggle with, and what to do with them?
  12. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
