Episode notes

Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into the roots of shame and hiding in our lives, unpacking Genesis 3 to reveal God's compassionate invitation to step out of isolation and into authentic connection. By reexamining the true meaning of "fear of the Lord," they challenge common misconceptions and offer practical insights into overcoming shame through vulnerability and confession.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding Shame and Hiding – How shame leads us to hide from God and others, and the importance of coming out of hiding to restore relationships.
Reframing the Fear of the Lord – Exploring "fear of the Lord" as trusting God's wisdom over our own, rather than being afraid of Him.
God's Compassionate Questions – Discussing how God's response to Adam and Eve with questions is an invitation to reconnection, not condemnation.
Overcoming Shame through Vulnerability – The role of authentic community and confession in healing shame and building genuine connections.
