    Shirts vs. Skins: Uncovering Body Shame

    What if the shame you carry about your body is actually tied to a deeper story you’ve believed about yourself? In this deeply personal episode, Jason shares vivid memories from his childhood and teenage years — from “shirts vs. skins” in PE to comparing himself to other boys, feeling exposed in his body, and believing he didn’t measure up as a man. He explores how body shame can shape identity, fuel comparison, distort confidence, and even become entangled with validation, masculinity, and same-sex attraction. You’ll also hear honest stories and reflections from men in the Own Your Identity community about insecurity, comparison, fitness, shame, and healing. In this episode: Why body shame often begins in small, confusing moments The hidden story many men attach to their bodies How comparison steals presence and confidence The overlap between body shame, validation, and same-sex attraction Why a “better body” can’t heal a wounded identity A practical framework for healing body shame How the gospel speaks to shame, exposure, and worth You do not need a different body to begin living a meaningful life. You need a different story. Learn more about coaching and resources at ownyouridentitynow.com

    What happens when the story you’ve been telling yourself about your attractions begins to change? In this episode, Jason talks with Kevin, a graduate of the Own Your Identity group coaching program, about his journey from shame and isolation to honesty, community, and a renewed understanding of identity. Kevin shares about growing up with confusing attractions, the loneliness of secrecy, and the courage it took to finally open up to safe people.
