Finding True Worth: Breaking Free from Shame and the Need for Approval
Shame number one is the rejection of god's creation of me. Shame takes what god calls priceless and it makes us feel filthy.
Imagine constantly feeling like you need to prove your worth to others, always chasing external validation. In this episode of 'Recovery at Cokesbury', Mark Beebe tackles the deep-rooted issues of self-worth and the relentless pursuit of significance. Drawing inspiration from the book 'Search for Significance', Mark dives into the critical voice that often dominates our thoughts, pushing us into the performance trap where we seek approval from everyone but ourselves.
He also brings in the story of Babel, showing how our desire for recognition can lead us astray. But it's not all gloom and doom. Mark reminds us of God's unconditional love and how it can help us conquer feelings of shame and inadequacy. By the end of the episode, you'll be encouraged to reflect on your own self-worth and embrace the love and acceptance that has always been there for you.
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that blends spirituality with practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
