Summary
Shame affects everyone and creates feelings of isolation, unworthiness, and contamination that keep us from God's calling. It originates from things we've done or things done to us, making us feel exposed and unlovable. Peter's story illustrates how shame works - after denying Jesus three times, he retreated from his calling and went back to fishing. Jesus rescued Peter through confrontation, nourishment, and restoration, asking him three times if he loved Him and restoring his purpose. We must choose to let Jesus crush our shame rather than let shame crush us, bringing it into the light and moving forward in obedience to God's calling.
