Shame is the feeling that you are no good. It makes us feel unloved and unlovable, and it sucks the life out of us, demotivating a man completely with its hopelessness. Shame is a heavy weight, and as strong as men are, we aren't meant to carry it. But God promises that shame is not meant to be a part of the Christian man's life. This week, we will grapple with the weighty topic of shame and learn how God sets men free from its grip. Written by Chris Walker
