179. Healthy Shame verses Toxic Shame

We hear the word shame and believe that it’s bad right? When we feel it we want that feeling gone, no matter how we can get it to leave. Is shame always bad? Is there such thing as healthy shame? We usually use church words such as condemnation or conviction. God can use neuroscience to help us understand relationships, connection and joy. In this episode, I will take from different sources, including the Bible, the book The Other Half of Church, Brené Brown and my personal experiences. When we ignore pain, we don’t allow real transformation to happen within our souls. This episode discusses the power of healthy shame being necessary for us to be transformed more like Jesus.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ~Romans 12:2
