There is a culture of shame that exists within churches. These can be spoken, or unspoken, but ultimately have left behind a generation that associates church with shame. This conversation is approached from a much different angle than many of our previous podcasts, and deals with sensitive content. So if you are sensitive to topics around abuse and shame culture, we advise you to take caution while listening, or consider not listening to this episode. We also would really encourage you as you listen to this episode, know that this is only half of the conversation. While this episode deals much with the shame culture churches and society in general fosters, Thursday's episode will deal with more of the heart behind the conversation and why this shame culture is not reflected in scripture and in the God who loves us.
