Have you ever walked with silent shame? Maybe there is something you have gone through? Maybe there is something you experienced? Or maybe there has been something done to you, and you thought to yourself, I don't want anyone to know this. But in your mind, these words just keep playing, If they only knew? If this describes you, I have hope for you today! I am so excited to have my friend, Teresa Whiting on the podcast as we talk about her bible study, *Graced: How God Redeems and Restores the Broken.  In this conversation, we talk about shame and how it refused to loosen the grip on her life.
