Shame is a word that evokes a lot – for some pain, for others rejection. In our time, we often talk about not being ashamed. But what happens when the shame that was supposed to protect us is thrown out – and the one who destroys gets the keys to the heart?
In this podcast episode, Tone Lise and Truls talk honestly about the difference between healthy, unhealthy and absent shame. They show how shame can be like a doorman that protects your conscience – but also like a prison guard that keeps you bound in the darkness.
Through the conversation you will hear about youth struggling with shame after mistakes, abuse and lost battles, but also about how truth, grace and forgiveness can set people free. For God is not ashamed of you – He wants to give you dignity and freedom back.
In modern times, we have thrown out the healthy shame, and are left with the one that eats away dignity, faith and hope. But there is a way out – through truth, forgiveness and an encounter with Jesus, who alone can truly set a person free. For where shame binds, truth sets free.
