Revealing Our True Selves: Dr. Shaw on Embracing Vulnerability

We work so hard to cover our humanity and pretend we’ve got it all together, conceal our transgressions, to look like we’re perfect, to look like we’ve arrived, that we’re the answer and we’re the hope. But really we’ve got to confess that we’re broken… I’m turning away from my own sin and turning to God.
Ever feel like you're hiding behind a mask, pretending everything's fine when it's not? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw dives into the all-too-common habit of concealing our true selves. Drawing wisdom from the story of Adam and Eve, he explores how their attempt to cover their sin mirrors our own struggles with vulnerability. Dr. Shaw argues that acknowledging our flaws and turning to God is essential for healing, especially when battling addiction.
He also touches on the tale of the Rich Young Ruler from Mark chapter 10, challenging us to forsake what holds us back and embrace our need for divine mercy. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that it's okay to be broken and that true strength comes from admitting our weaknesses and seeking help. Perfect for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on finding hope and healing through faith.
