Melissa, Leann and Analese continue their discussion by talking about unsuccessful methods of avoiding shame and the steps we can take to counteract and heal from shame.
Ponder Questions:
Am I shining light on the shame and letting Christ in?
What lie am I stuck in?
Am I willing to see what is triggering my shame?
Is shame where I go first?
Am I willing to break the cycle?
Am I allowing Christ to heal me?
Invitation:
Be aware of your self-talk this week and what you are saying to others.
