Healing from Shame

About Healing from Shame

Come with me as I gather women from different walks and seasons: who love God together to talk about the shame they have experienced, even if we have caused it ourselves or something outside of God's design brought us shame. Shame can be complicated, but together, let us tell you the secrets God has shown to our hearts to overcome the shame from the past to the present and even the future. We will no longer walk in shame, but we will walk with God, knowing his heart for us and that the Father loves us no matter what we're dealing with.

   Word for 2026

   Today's episode is about what God is about to do this upcoming year, 2026! I am so excited to sharing all the Lord has to share with us, from the scriptures in "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” John 4:23 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9 "As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.” Genesis 9:7 Worship in Spirit and Truth episode called "True Worship" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pursuing-gods-heart-together/id1753608585?i=1000732221989 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pursuing-gods-heart-together/id1753608585?i=1000732221989)

   True Worship

   I had the honor of being invited to teach at a retreat by the women at Living Waters for Square Church this past October 2025 in Utah. It's an absolutely amazing retreat, and I am happy to share the message that the Lord put on my heart, which comes from John 4:24 to worship in truth and spirit. Here are the other scriptures that I used throughout the teaching. I hope you enjoy. John 4:23-24  But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Hosea 2:14-23“Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. In that day,” declares the Lord, “you will call me ‘my husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my master.’ I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked. In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord. “In that day I will respond,” declares the Lord—“I will respond to the skies,  and they will respond to the earth; and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’ I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’;  and they will say, ‘You are my God.’” Exodus 20: 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 2 Samuel 24:24  “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” Malachi 1:7-8 “By offering defiled food on my altar. “But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’ “By saying that the Lord’s table is contemptible. When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty. Contempt is defined as- the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath considered, worthless, or deserving scorn. Worship-worthilness worthy- ship Sacrifice -It comes from the latin word sacrificial meaning the act of making something sacred (Holy, simply worth of awe and respect.) James 3:11 “Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?” John 4:14 “but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Exodus 15:22-27 “Bitter water of Marah”

   Called Out of Shame

   Your family background is a part of you, no matter what you believe or what your family believes. Family shame can be one of the biggest shame we face in this life, but it can end with us. In today's episode, we will discuss how there can also be blessings that come from family through inheritance, legacy, and our family stories of redemption. Today, you will hear from two of my favorite people, Velvette Williams and Amber Dozier, as we share how we grew up and came to know the Lord and the call over our lives. Just know that no matter what type of family you come from, it doesn't have to stay the same in the way you live your life. We serve a generational God, and there is always hope that things can get better.

   Shame In Confusion

   This episode of walking through shame is called "Shame in Confusion" because as we have been reading through Genesis, we have approached chapter 11, "The Tower of Babel," which is an interesting part of scripture. So, on this episode, we discuss our testimony on how God used confession, and because we were walking close to him what the enemy intended for evil, you will get to hear how God used it for good. Melanie will share her testimony, and then I will discuss missed used quotes that are not scriptural, but we will discuss what the Bible says about these things. I pray that you are encouraged and that God will use this episode to release you of any shame that you may have gotten through confusion as he did for Melanie and me. We are almost at the end of season one with one more episode and will return in February 2025. There will still be two more bonus episodes for subscribers only, and the next one will be where Melina and I will discuss the tracts of the enemy. I pray you will enjoy this podcast!

   Discerning When You Hear God's Voice

   This bonus episode is about "Discerning When You Hear God's Voice." He speaks to us all differently, so how do you know it's Him and not yourself? That is what Dawn Box and I will discuss: how we have learned the difference between when it is our self, God, or even the enemy. But no matter what, it will take faith to believe that God wants to speak to you and that God is speaking to you! I can't wait to share this encouraging message, which will only be available for the next couple of weeks and then will be moved to the paid-only for subscribers, so enjoy!

   Remaining in His Favor and Glory

   For the following two podcasts, we will change it up and do something a little different, but then we will return to Healing from Shame. In this episode of "Remaining in His Favor and Glory," I recently got to teach at the Ladies of Grace Koinonia. You can find out more about their ministry at https://ladiesofgrace.blog/ (https://ladiesofgrace.blog/) . This word from Exodus 34 has changed my view on God, and I had to ask myself the hard question: is my faith based on who God says He is, or has my faith been based on what has happened to me? For it is impossible to please God without faith, according to Hebrews 11. I pray that the Holy Spirit would speak to your heart as He did to mine; you shine brighter than you think!!!

   Shame in Our Walk with God

   In this episode of Healing From Shame, Dawn Box and I will talk about "Shame in Our Walk with God." As we go through Genesis, we are now in Genesis chapter 6, the story of Noah. It may even be a surprise that we will be talking about Noah and Shame. However, because of Noah's tremendous amount of faith and walking with God, it seems that I can experience shame in different ways as I walk closer to God. Either I feel shame that man will think I am crazy, or I feel shame that I even think that. Because of our humanity, it is normal to doubt God, but it doesn't mean that the same doubt affects our walk. So, come hear how Dawn and I deal with some tough moments of walking by faith. Our bonus episode for Apple Podcast subscribers is only about how you know you hear from God. This bonus episode is going to be longer than 10 minutes, but it will be a good listen. #shame #healingfromshame #healingfromshameinourwalkwithgod  #loss   #podcast #healingjourney #walkingwithgod #Noah #faith #faithjourney

    The Shame of A Mother

    In "The Shame of a Mother,"  we have all felt how our choices have affected those around us. This episode will talk about shame, grief, and loss and how to walk through some of the most painful moments that we as humans have to face: the loss of a loved one. I wonder if you have ever considered Eve's heart in Genesis 4 when she lost one son to death and the other son when he was driven out of the land? In this episode, we will read through Genesis 4, and Patti will be sharing her testimony about when she lost her son to death and the other son to drugs and alcohol. We will also have a bonus episode available to subscribers only on Apple Podcast about praying for your child/children!
