Shame: The Silent Thief of Identity | Breaking Free Through Christ
Shame is more than a fleeting emotion—it’s a force that erodes identity, distorts relationships, and keeps us trapped in cycles of self-doubt and self-destruction. In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive deep into the nature of shame, comparing it to cancer in the spiritual realm—silent, invasive, and deeply damaging.
Through personal stories, expert insights from Brene Brown and Jay Stringer, and biblical truths, they uncover how shame often takes root in relational moments, shaping false identities and leading to self-protective behaviors. But there’s hope. Jesus offers a way to break free—not through punishment, but through love, grace, and the restoration of our true identity.
Join us as we unpack the systems that reinforce shame, the impact it has on our lives, and the liberating power of the Gospel to set us free. If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, this conversation is for you.
Let’s explore more together. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments—we’re on this journey with you!
