Pod # 28 Discipling in an Honor and Shame Culture
Outside of Christ, there are not many ways to deal with shame or be restored
In this Pod, I talk to a guy who shares his insights into honor and shame and communal vs individualist cultures. He shares some of his personal stories, struggles, and mistakes, while on the field in a way we can learn from them. We close off the conversation by talking about burnout and fatigue on the field, and what that looked like for him. The whole conversation is powerful and well worth listening to.

Shame only exists in a community. Shame is when you’re doing something that is not in the best interest of the community or violates the ethos that holds the community together. So any shame within the community works to destroy something at the fabric of that community.
