Is shame driving you or are you living your life, set free from it? 

Hello — and welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! 

You are listening to episode # 116 with guest speaker Whitney Roehl. Whitney is the author of a book called “Reckless Grace”. A book that unravels what the pit of shame has done in her real life and how she has overcome her past, the experiences she's faced, and the trauma from how she was raised. 

Now, as she raises her family with her husband Jake, she is bound to help others and set them free from walking in shame and align with all the adventure and purpose God has for you through her coaching business. (For those interested in the book or coaching business I will leave that info in the show notes). 

On today’s episode, Whitney challenges us all to take a moment to pause and reflect on these questions. 

1. Is shame driving your thoughts and actions? 

2. How does God view you? 

3. How do you view yourself? 

4. How can I serve others? (not only look for ways to be served.)

In addition, she encourages us to PRAY! Send the invitation out and call on the Holy Spirit to increase our desire for more of Jesus in our lives. (in our marriage, in our relationships with our children, with our coworkers, at work, in our quiet time to hear from God.) 

Also check out Galatians 2:20, Acts 2, John 15, and Psalms 46:10 come to mind if you want to dive deeper after listening to our sweet conversation that will surely help encourage you onward! 

Today, my hope is that you listen in and know that you have been set free from shame, Jesus knows your name, break down the strongholds of your past, and let the new adventure begin! 

So grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, and wherever you are BE ENCOURAGED! 

Jackie
