Peter Fitch continues his series on 1 John. He believes that this letter contains a treasury of wise principles for healthy spirituality. Last week, looking at the end of the first chapter, he began to speak about confession. This week, before moving on, he decided to say a little more about this wonderful gift. In the talk he shares some of Brené Brown's ideas about shame and guilt, and he tries to sketch a middle way between, on the one hand, the pretense that we never make mistakes and, on the other, living in a state of shame.
