Starting Place with Elizabeth Woodson

Shame & Insecurity


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore how insecurity and shame reveal our tendency to forget the gospel. Looking at the story of Mary Magdalene, we see how the power of Christ transforms our past, freeing us from shame and equipping us to walk boldly in our new identity. If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of unworthiness or fear that your past defines you, this episode will remind you of the truth: you are made new in Christ.
Main Takeaways:
  • Shame keeps us stuck, making us believe we don’t belong or deserve God’s love.
  • The gospel reminds us that our identity isn’t in our past but in what Christ has done.
  • Like Mary Magdalene, we can walk in courage and live in the freedom of the gospel.
Reflection Question:
What past experience or insecurity makes you feel stuck in shame? How can you bring it before God and walk in the freedom of His grace?
