Shame is one of the most powerful forces shaping men’s lives. It hides in silence, feeds on isolation, and convinces men they are not enough. In this episode, Brad Dombaugh and Craig Glass talk about how shame takes root, how it distorts identity, and how it keeps men from living with strength, integrity, and freedom.

They explore why so many men carry a quiet sense of defectiveness, the belief that something deep inside them is wrong. Shame tells men to hide their emotions, to mask their failures, and to pretend they have it all together. But real strength begins when men stop running from the truth and start bringing what’s hidden into the light.

This conversation challenges the idea that being strong means being silent. It shows how vulnerability, honesty, and faith lead to healing and how confronting shame restores the foundation of who men are meant to be. It also explores the spiritual side of shame, how it separates men from God and from others, and how grace rebuilds what shame tries to destroy.

What lies has shame made you believe about yourself? How do you respond when that inner voice tells you you are not worthy or that you have already failed? What would change in your life if you faced the truth and refused to let shame define you? Leave a comment and share your thoughts.
