Ep. 103 Should We "Should" and "Shame?"
from Faith in Focus · host Faith in Focus
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.If you'd like to support Frank and Rachel Baur's ministry that I discussed at the outset of this episode go over to their site. $10/mo can help sponsor one child to go to camp who otherwise may not have been able to go.https://infaith.org/ministries/frank-rachel-baurFollow my ministry with InFaith by going to:https://www.facebook.com/DennisInFaithIf you have any questions or comments that you'd like me to address you can shoot me an email to [email protected] if you'd like to support my ministry with InFaith you can text the word "discipleship" to 41444 or head over to https://infaith.org/dennis-sutherby and give there.
