SOLA Network [AALC 2024] Leading from Your True Self by Ken Shigematsu
Speaker: Ken Shigematsu Description: The experience of shame is more common than we think. It isn’t confined to people who have failed or gone through trauma. People who are immensely successful also feel they are not quite enough. Drawing on Ephesians 3:16-19 and using stories from his life, Ken Shigematsu shows how a deep, experiential encounter with the love of God can heal us from the shadow of shame and enable us to live and lead with greater joy and lightness of being—to become our true self—which most reflects the beautiful image of God. 0:00 Intro 2:00 Shame - the fear of not being enough 16:15 Can you imagine someone who has loved you into who you are today? 18:30 Confession as a biblical practice 24:10 The impact of experiencing beauty 28:40 The practice of overcoming envious comparisons 34:30 God’s love for us is without condition
