S5E6: Shame and the Biblical Narrative

Welcome to season 5 episode 6 where this season we are bringing you personal stories and deep teaching into Curt’s book, The Soul of Shame.  This week we are looking at chapter 6, “Shame and the Biblical Narrative”.   At the heart of all that the Bible is lies a story.  YES, a story about humans and all that we are. But even more so, a story about a God and who he is. In many ways, the Bible is the story that God is telling about us.   Given what we have learned thus far about how shame infects the way we tell stories to gain the upper hand, we don’t just need a better story, we need a better story teller.   This week we’ll see that the biblical narrative is not just some feel-good fairy tale.  It’s the hardest, most beautiful story you’ve ever heard.  And evil is working overtime, using shame to keep you from hearing the story that God is telling you about you – and the world of beauty and goodness in which you are to play a central role.   . . . . .
