Have you been dealing with toxic shame and feel like you are less than God designed? Do you have close people in your life who continue to toxically shame you? Are you toxically shaming yourself? We need to get a hold of unhealthy and toxic shame and instead behold The One who made us, Jesus Christ. This world has so much toxicity and polarity that it can be hard to field through where we end and toxicity begins. Jesus is the author of Truth and Life and He designed us to live in freedom. We need to get set free from toxic shame around us and be reminded of who we are to live in Christ’s Kingdom as a daughter or son.

Has your child had a bad dream? Do you sense your children have spiritual gifts but aren’t sure how to steward them? Do you want to integrate faith for your kids but aren’t sure how? Debra Giles did just that for 4 of her spiritually gifted sons and has written a book to share with us! Often our children share spiritual things with us but we don’t know how to steward what they are seeing or sensing. We just think they are creative and imaginative. What if they are sensing something from God and have something to share with your family or even the world? It this episode you will be encouraged to hear Debra share about how we understand paranormal activity, recognize prophetic gifting, discern purpose and identity, cultivate a spiritual home, the importance of mentorship, and prepare our children for God’s calling on their life.

“But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.” ~1 Corinthians 14:3

We hear the word shame and believe that it’s bad right? When we feel it we want that feeling gone, no matter how we can get it to leave. Is shame always bad? Is there such thing as healthy shame? We usually use church words such as condemnation or conviction. God can use neuroscience to help us understand relationships, connection and joy. In this episode, I will take from different sources, including the Bible, the book The Other Half of Church, Brené Brown and my personal experiences. When we ignore pain, we don’t allow real transformation to happen within our souls. This episode discusses the power of healthy shame being necessary for us to be transformed more like Jesus.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ~Romans 12:2
