    Shame vs Guilt: Know the Difference 1 John 1:9

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Shame vs. Guilt: Know the Difference, we’re breaking down the spiritual and emotional difference between conviction (which lovingly invites you back to God) and shame (which pushes you into hiding). Using 1 John 1:9 (KJV) as our anchor, you’ll learn how to recognize shame when it’s subtle—like overthinking, shrinking back, self-disqualifying, or feeling like you have to “get it together” before you pray. Together, we’ll walk through a Bible-based perspective on shame, a practical emotional lens, and a step-by-step journaling practice to help you respond with truth instead of self-attack. You’ll journal through the key question: “Is this drawing me toward God… or into hiding?” plus two clear prompts with real-life examples to help you identify what you’re feeling and what to do next. You’ll also create a simple Return Plan for the week: 1 prayer, 1 repair step, and 1 gentle boundary—so you can move forward with peace, clarity, and self-love rooted in God’s grace. Perfect for women in a healing season, anyone battling guilt, shame spirals, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling “not enough,” and anyone learning how to journal with God for emotional healing and spiritual growth.  Before we begin, if you are tired of shrinking in relationships just to feel loved, my 7-day audio plus email course, Why I Keep Shrinking to Be Loved? will help you understand the root of that pattern and begin healing it with faith and guided reflection.
