Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of shame and hardship, wondering where God is in your struggles? In this week's episode, I open up about my own journey through seasons of intense pain and shame. I share how I often blamed myself and others for the trials I faced, believing I was unworthy of happiness. Shame skewed my interpretation of my experiences, making me feel alone and forgotten by God.
Join me as I explore how ongoing hardships can trigger feelings of shame and how, without a proper understanding of God's heart, we can see ourselves as victims abandoned by an uncaring deity. Instead, God desires to minister to us in our trials, providing strength to persevere and comfort in our pain.
Listen to this heartfelt episode and discover how to break free from the grip of shame by embracing God's love and support in your life.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why we need to worry less about the way others perceive our experience of suffering
- The reasons physical suffering can expose our shame
- Why we can trust that suffering is not a sign of our worth
- How hard it can be to grieve broken relationships you have to function in still
- Why expressing doubt and frustration is not a lack of faith
