Shame has no place in the purpose, plan, and destiny God has for us because shame lies to us, and shackles us in the prison of our past. If we want to change our future, we must believe God is bigger than our mistakes, our inadequacies, our past, and our limitations. We must choose to see ourselves the way God sees us, and lay hold of his power to live a beautiful, full, life-giving future filled with purpose.

“Shame is something most women will not confront or admit to unless they are forced to face it. I joined a woman's group a month ago and did not know which study they were doing until last minute. When I found out, I almost wanted to pull out. I sensed the pain that was to come. I have done three-quarters of the study and can say it is powerful. Leaving behind the bondages of shame will forever change the way I encounter others, myself, and most importantly, God.”

“If you've ever bought a self-help or spiritual book because you thought it was the answer to 'fix you' (Me!) or if you motivate yourself with one liners such as 'my best is not good enough' (Me!)...these are two examples of how shame launched a full-on attack on me. Christine differentiates between shame (who I am) and guilt (what I've done). Using her own life stories, she shares the impact of shame from the abuse committed against her and how without disarming it with Truth, her purpose would have never bloomed. It's a motivational and practical study that creeps into your inner thought life and brings hope!”
