In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Ed Welch about his book, A Small Book about Why We Hide: How Jesus Rescues Us from Insecurity, Regret, Failure, and Shame. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• How is "shame" defined by the Scriptures? How is shame different than guilt?

• What is it about Christ's heart that makes him a safe refuge for those who live with shame and regret?

• Why doesn't it work when we try to talk ourselves out of insecurities or demeaning thoughts?

• What are some "ground rules" for addressing regret?

• What role does humility play in addressing shame and regret?

• Why is it important for us to live with "the end in view," particularly when it comes to these issues?
