Refreshing. Instructive. Researched. Tangible. One of the most relevant books on Christian formation that I’ve read 😳
So good.

Enjoying it so far!

Another perspective on the fear of man conversation. This has been more up my alley than Ed Welch and reflects more of Tim Keller.

Some more take-aways:
- the experience of shame can cause the brain to disintegrate— it’s different pathways disconnect. So logical thinking about a shame experience is “blocked”

- our lives model our brains disintegration through relational isolation

- shame= I *am* bad; self-consumed
- guilt= I *did* bad; attempt to fix something done towards someone else

“Guilt sits on Shame’s shoulders”

SUPER good 👌🏻Here are some of my take-aways so far:

- shame many times cannot be described in words but in sensations. It is a sensation that we are not enough or do not have what it takes.

- shamed people shame people.

- shame creates a deadly cycle of isolation from the very source of healing— people.

- shame disguises itself within other emotions (anxiety is a big one)
