Breaking Free: The Journey from Shame to Freedom

Shame thrives in silence, convincing us that our worst moments define us. But what if we could name it, face it, and walk into freedom?

In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their deep dive into the journey of healing from shame. Through personal stories—like the sting of a high school basketball defeat—they explore how shame takes root, how it shapes identity, and how we can begin to break its grip. They discuss the importance of choosing the right support system, practicing grounding techniques, and embracing vulnerability with God’s perspective as the ultimate guide to healing.

They also touch on the power of grace, the role of confession, and breaking shame contracts that keep us stuck in cycles of guilt. With insights from counseling and spiritual practices, this episode offers practical tools to help listeners find relief and transformation.

Shame may whisper that you’re alone, but freedom comes when you step into the light. Join the conversation and discover how to break shame’s hold and reclaim the identity God sees in you.

We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!
