Erasing Shame

Adopted but Never Feeling Enough. My Breaking Point Became God’s Turning Point


Listen Later

What do you do when you’re adopted into a loving Christian family… but you still feel like a reject?
When you smile in church but go home to a voice in your head saying, “You’re not enough. You were never enough.”

When you’ve been told Jesus loves you, but deep down you believe He couldn’t possibly want someone like you?

That was Andrew Yook’s life.
Loved, but lonely. Surrounded, but unseen. Adopted, but still feeling abandoned.
The emptiness drove him to choices that almost killed him—addiction, shame, self-destruction.
And yet… Jesus came for him right there. In the middle of the mess. In the relapse. In the hopelessness.

This is not a polished, sanitized Christian story.
This is rejection, rage, relapse, rock bottom.
It’s meeting Jesus when you have nothing left to give.

It’s watching Him dig you out of the ashes—not just to save you, but to use your scars to heal someone else.

In this episode, we rip the mask off and talk about:

  • What “unwanted” feels like, even in a good home

  • Why being told Jesus loves you isn’t enough—you have to meet Him

  • Carrying shame you didn’t deserve, and the shame you created

  • The lie of “i'm too far gone” and how to kill it

  • Why ignoring your mental health will wreck your soul and body too

  • How to turn your most shameful chapters into weapons of hope

  • The daily fight to shut down the voice that says you’re worthless

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t outrun your past, that you’ll never measure up, or that your pain has disqualified you—listen to this.
Because Andrew’s story is proof:
You’re not too far gone.
You’re not too broken.
You are not alone.

And if all you can manage right now is a whisper, let it be this:
“Jesus, i need You.”
Because the moment you speak it, He’s already on His way.
