To understand the origin of sin is to understand the origin of shame. As we see in the garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit that they were prohibited from eating, their eyes "were opened, and they knew that they were naked." This led them to "hide" themselves from God's presence when they heard Him walking in the garden." And why did they hide? They experienced shame--knowing what it meant to be fully known but in a sinful state. 

Tune in today as Pastor Mike and I discuss the following difficult questions:
- How does the Bible define shame?,
- How does shame impact our relationship with God and others,
- Can shame be used as a means to draw is closer to Christ?, and
- What advice can be given to cherished who are currently struggling with shame?

Send Me Questions on Attachment

Christians who have been hurt, disregarded, or forgotten by the church can often conclude that going to church is no longer important, but in this episode, we hope to remind all believers that the body of Christ is essential for our walk with Christ. It is nearly impossible to mature without being able to confess our sins to one another, serve one another, be encouraged by one another, and forgiving one another. Fellowship with other Christ-followers is essential. 

Tune in today to see how Pastor Travis and I discuss the following difficult questions:
- What does the Bible say about what church should be?, 
- How did Covid change how we do church?, 
- Is it a sin for Christians not to be involved in church community?, and
- Can Christians grow without consistent church community?

As Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

How to Untangle the Complexities of Child-on-Child Abuse in the Context of the Church

This is a very difficult topic, but a necessary one to protect our families and churches. Sexual abuse in the church has taken many forms, but the complexities grow even greater when children are involved. There are psychological, medical, legal, and spiritual concerns at play, and it can be very difficult to navigate through it all. 

Vince Hinders did his dissertation on this topic, and he shares some helpful information on how these issues can be addressed in a wise manner. We need God's wisdom when handling these difficult issues, and Vince provides some great steps the church can take to resolve them when they arise. 

**If you're a pastor, counselor, ministry leader, and/or parent, this is an episode you NEED TO WATCH.

When you think about the church, you usually don't think about Christians shaming other Christians, right? Or, maybe you do? 

This has definitely been the case when it comes to the church's involvement in social justice issues. Progressive Christians have strongly criticized and shamed conservative Christians for not being involved, while the concern that conservative Christians have had is that the focus on social justice involvement has moved Christians away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ and preaching the truth of God's Word.  

My guest, Jon Harris, discusses the dangers of it and how Christians should be responding to social justice prompts. In this episode, we cover::
- what the difference is between shame and guilt, 
- how more progressive churches are shaming Christians who do not take part in social justice programs or activism, 
- what this means for Christians and the church, and
- how to keep Jesus as the focal point of the church and not social justice programs. 

Hope you can tune in!

When it comes to counseling, minority communities face some interesting and dynamic challenges, much of which has to do with messaging that is received from family, culture, social media, and even political sources.

It also doesn't help that there is a strong stigma attached to seeking help through counseling. 

In this episode, John and I discuss:
- what challenges are faced by Latino and African-American communities, 
- how history plays a critical role as to what messages are communicated to minorities about authorities, 
- how these issues need to be addressed at the family, cultural, and church community levels,  and 
- how counselors can inform and equip themselves to understand minorities when they come to counseling. 

Hope you can tune in!
