Episode notes
Shame Causes Fear Hiding And Blame
- Shame produces fear and exposure that makes people hide from God and others.
- Chip Ingram points to Genesis 3:8–13 where Adam says I was afraid, naked, and hid, showing shame leads to hiding and blaming.
Think Soberly About Yourself
- Do develop a sober, accurate self-assessment and stop being 'drunk' on the world's view of you.
- Chip instructs under Romans 12:3 to think according to sober judgment and not overvalue external opinions.
Use Your Identity In Christ As Your Measure
- The correct standard for self-evaluation is 'the measure of faith' — who you are in Christ.
- Chip explains this objective faith view means seeing yourself as loved, adopted, forgiven, and gifted per Ephesians and Romans.
