Free From Shame – Guest Speaker Simon Moetara
In this powerful and relatable message, guest speaker Simon Moetara — theology lecturer, teaching pastor at Activate Church, and weekend rugby warrior — unpacks the liberating truth of what it means to live free from shame. With humour, depth, and biblical insight, Simon shares stories from the rugby field to the blacklight stains of hidden sin, revealing how shame thrives in darkness but loses its grip in the light of Christ.
Drawing from 1 John 1:5–7, the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, and Hebrews 12:2, Simon reminds us that Jesus is our true older brother who came looking for us — not to condemn us, but to restore us. Shame says, “You’re not enough,” but Jesus says, “You are mine.”
This episode will encourage you to shift your focus from what you're not, to who Christ is — and step boldly into the freedom and identity God has for you.
