In Part 3 of Near the Brokenhearted, we continue exploring the barriers that can make us feel distant from God and from one another. This message focuses on two powerful walls—shame and pride—and how they quietly isolate us, distort how we see ourselves, and hinder our intimacy with the Lord.

We look at how shame keeps us buried under guilt and accusation, while pride convinces us we can handle things on our own. Through the truth of the gospel, we are reminded that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, and that true freedom comes as we humble ourselves before God. As we come low before Him, He draws near, restores our hearts, and lifts us up in His grace.
