Choosing Freedom

20. NO SHAME on You!

Shame can feel overwhelming, making us believe we are unworthy of love or too brokento be redeemed. But Jesus sees us in our pain and meets us with endless compassion.He didn’t come to condemn but to restore, offering forgiveness and grace no matter ourpast. The enemy tries to whisper lies—that we are too far gone, that God could nevertruly love us. But the truth is, Jesus calls us beloved, redeemed, and made new. In Him,shame is replaced with freedom, and every lie is silenced by His truth: we are deeplyloved and forever His.
Join us as we examine the crippling grip of shame and the overwhelming freedomavailable to each one of us.Resources:

19. Breaking the Stronghold of Rejection

Rejection is a lie from the enemy, designed to deceive us into doubting our worth and purpose. But when we understand our true identity in Christ, we realize that we are loved, chosen, and accepted by the Creator of the universe. This truth fills the void in our hearts, replacing the emptiness of rejection with the fullness of God's unconditional love and affirmation. Knowing who we are in Christ silences the lies of the enemy and empowers us to walk in confidence, knowing that we are always valued and never alone.
