From Shame to Infinite Worth | Thoughts? Stories?

I understand that shame is a huge topic within parenting. I’ve come to believe many parents unwittingly impose on their children feelings of rejection, unacceptability, unlovability, and/or worthlessness.

The questions that come to mind are some of the toughest life has to offer: Why do I feel ugly? Why don’t I like myself? Why can’t I escape the pain of rejection? Why do I feel inadequate? Why doesn’t porn satisfy? Why do I feel worthless? Why do I feel unlovable? Why do I hate myself? Why don’t drugs and alcohol satisfy my real cravings? Why can’t I forgive myself? Why does my soul feel dry? Why is shame killing our children, parents, and friends?

This manuscript gives an open account of journeys others and I took from prisons of shame to places of wholeness, healing, freedom, and self-worth in Christ. I own the copyright to this manuscript; please feel free to share it as you please. Perhaps it gives us a good starting point to begin sharing.

What are your thoughts? What are your stories? What does all of this have to do with our parenting? How do we help our children experience the wholeness of self-worth in the amazing love and grace of Christ?

With Love in Christ,

Hi John, Thanks for sharing. Your story is interesting to me and I’m very glad to hear about how your security in Christ has been growing. If you would like to share your testimony again…for the audience following the “Infinite Worth Ministries” Facebook page…I think it would be encouraging for them.
