Listen "30. Intensifying Your Binds: Aiming at Shame Is The Path To Healing (Shame Part 4)"
Episode Synopsis
Shame traps us in impossible situations where every path seems wrong. These "binds" leave us feeling anxious, stuck, and desperate for solutions that never quite materialize. But what if the way forward isn't finding the perfect answer, but naming the trap itself?In this concluding episode of our shame series, Ryan and Emily Baker tackle the question they often hear when pain is felt: "What do I do now?" Rather than offering quick fixes, they guide listeners through the counterintuitive process of "intensifying the bind" – feeling the full weight of our no-win situations as the pathway to genuine freedom.This episode breaks open the practical gospel work of navigating shame: identifying your current binds, naming what you're truly afraid of, and bringing those fears to Jesus – not for immediate rescue, but for faithful companionship through the valley. The result isn't shame removal but shame transformation, as we discover what the Apostle Paul knew: that sharing in Christ's sufferings opens us to experience resurrection power in our everyday lives.Ready to break free from the binds that have held you captive? Listen now to discover how naming your shame with Jesus creates the third way forward you've been searching for.
