Hurt and Shame (51)
  1. When we fail, our first impulse is the same as that of our spiritual ancestors: to sprint headlong into the bushes.
  2. Just like Peter, you don’t need to do anything to earn God’s forgiveness for your soul wounds.
  3. We need redemption, and we receive it in our church community through God’s Word.
  4. We don’t flinch at sin. We speak Christ into it.
  5. As soon as people understand what crucifixion means, the cross becomes offensive.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. We've found Katie Koplin, in the midst of moving into an old church, and working on her training to become a Christian counselor.
  9. Sin is a heavy thing to bear. Its jacket is shame, its medals are guilt.
  10. 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.
  11. We finally finish up our conversation on birth by talking about postpartum and breastfeeding vs formula.
  12. 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.
