Shame will tell you that you’re not enough, that you’ve failed too much, or that you should stay hidden. But God speaks something louder if you are willing to listen. Listen to the full sermon as Pastor David Quilatan reminds us that when we know whose voice defines us, we can take risks, create, fail, and keep moving forward without letting shame have the final word.
After you listen to the sermon, come back here and reflect on these questions:
1. Where has shame caused you to hide or hold back from something God may be calling you to do?
2. How does the difference between guilt (“I did something wrong”) and shame (“I am wrong”) change the way you see yourself?
3. What are some ways you may have allowed fear of failure or other people’s opinions to shape the way you live?
4. What would it look like for you to believe that God’s voice over your life is louder than the voice of shame?
5. Where might God be inviting you to take a risk to create, try, trust, or step forward, even if you are scared?
