Thanks Mark. I’m beginning to understand what has been going on in my heart for my entire 65 years. I’m desire to be free once and for all. I’m so weary of the shame and judgemental thinking.
Very helpful series on shame, great insight on the punishment based relationship with God. I struggled to work with shame in therapy and in support groups because I didn't feel safe. Your TH-cam channel and books are a comfort that help me feel safe and I begin to feel the incentive to grow. Great question at the end about the school system. I know a great deal of my shame came from having a learning difference in a traditional learning environment that was rigid, bullying and microaggressive. My goal now is to try to create an environment of internal safety. I was extremely judgemental and hard on myself while being extremely patient with others. I'm learning not to kick myself while I'm down.
Brother I'm gonna go over all this in this video w my wife and it's such a blessing,really all your videos.great wisdom and we appreciate you love and encouragement.i will use these teachings to help others in Jesus name
This is such a blessing to find this. The Lord revealed to me that the root of so much going on with me has to do with my identity being shame. I didn’t understand and I didn’t see it. I knew it was true bc God showed me it was there. I think knowing all these things and having clarity and to be able to understand and see it can truly open a person up so much for healing. I have been binge watching your videos bc the Lord even told me about 5 months ago I had extreme self rejection and I was like really? I was shocked. And also I had no idea what that even was. Thank you again for helping the body of Christ grow in truth and in spirit. To give us the ability to see truth and also handed to us with a dose of Hope from God that he will help us overcome bc he loves us so much. His love is not conditional upon us. He loves because he chooses too. That alone is powerful to just wrap our mind around that. God bless you.
You said “walking in darkness” could be referring to sin.... I love your videos but I’m in such a tough spot in my life and have so many questions... I’m struggling with sin because I enjoy it but at the same time I hate that I do it so much and always have panic attacks bc I have so much shame over the things I do and I just wish I could get away from it all but I depend on it to get away from what goes on in my head. Anyways, if it could mean sin, does that mean that I’m walking in darkness and that I don’t know the truth since I basically practice sin...?? I would love a topic on sin bc I just don’t understand it at all. I remember feeling so connected to God and his love and I had such a strong drive to get away from my sinful life so I did and it was the happiest I have ever been but then I got into the whole legalistic mindset and fell back into sin because I no longer feel that love, just a judgeful God hanging over my head.... I’m just always so anxious and depressed now.... you’re videos are the only thing that have helped and comforted me. I really hope you read these.
Grace. Research what Gods grace means... Gods grace and love. Read Marks book God loves me and I love myself. Start seeing yourself as God seas you through Mark’s book.
You're not in darkness. You're walking in the light. That's why you feel upset and distressed because you love God and His Spirit is within you. You won't be able to continue in sin and there will come a time you'll be miserable enough and tired of it and you'll give it up. I pray that time is now.
When you know that there are sins you can’t handle tomorrow, how to handle that? I mean I know exactly that there are things in my life I can’t change. How can I recieve love when I don’t try to change or try to stop sinning. I struggle with that performance thinking so much. It’s deeply rooted 🙈
Come before God and commit each day to him. You can change through His Holy Spirit but it requires cooperation with God rather than fleshly effort or self righteousness. I have found in my life the desire to sin lessens the more I know I'm loved and God has better for my life. The most powerful temptations can be broken this way. But I'm still very aware and wary of my weaknesses. But He's always there waiting for me to ask for help.

Awesome Susan! Keep receiving that love and grace.

I rejoice with your breakthroughs!
Damn homie...you cut str8 to the alma. I needed that. I spent my entire life in a shame based organization.
24:10 💡 Staying in shame = staying stuck in the sin you’re ashamed of!

Which of your books broaches shame exhaustively?
