Shame and Guilt

Jun 23, 2026    Pastor Joshua Smith

In the 2018 World Cup Final, Mario Mandžukić scored the first own goal in the history of the final, in front of the entire world with no way to walk it back.


Most of us know what it's like to have something attached to our name that we didn't choose, whether it's a mistake we made, something done to us, or a version of ourselves other people saw.


In this session, Pastor Josh shares what it was like growing up with a mother deep in addiction, going to school in dirty clothes with everyone knowing what his home was like, and how that weight followed him long after the circumstances changed.


We also look at a woman in John 8 brought in front of a crowd at her lowest moment, and what Jesus said when everyone else walked away.


If shame has been writing the story of who you are, this is for you.
