Ep. 103 Should We "Should" and "Shame?"

Have questions or comments about this (or a previous) episode, give us a text!

We have this policy in our culture and in our churches especially that we shouldn't "should" on people and shame them for their negative (or lack of positive) behavior. All forms of judgments like this are wrong. Ignore the fact that telling someone they "should not" "should" on people is a form of "shoulding" (if I can use a made up word). However, there is a cultural and societal justification for shaming and stigmatizing people, or at least their behavior. The primary reason is to protect the community for destructive behaviors or actions. Paul discusses this very concept in 1 Corinthians 5 and this is the issue we want to tackle in this episode.
