Luke 22:52-64
What is Shame?
The painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable, improper, ridiculous, done by oneself or another. The feeling of shame comes from the belief that, “I am basically flawed, inadequate, wrong, bad, unimportant, undeserving or not good enough.” “The intensely painful feeling or experience of being flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.”

Beloved Brother Ryan,
I have kept you and family in prayer. I listened to your message on “Dealing With Out Emotions: Shame.” How relevant of a message while on this Christian journey, to help refocus on The Truth, not mistakes toward the mark. I am encouraged by it and grateful to your obedience to preach the word in love and detail.
Good Cheer+
