Let Go of Shame

March 16, 2015 By Juanita Ryan

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning the shame. Hebrews 12:2 Shame is that terrible, private feeling that something is wrong with us—that we are somehow defective as a person. That we are irreparably damaged. That if anyone really knew what we were like we would be rejected. A part of the experience of shame … [Read more...] about Let Go of Shame

Beating the Pedestal Syndrome: Help for Pastors Drowning in the Ministry

by Dale O. Wolery and Dale S. Ryan It doesn't seem that complicated. He is drowning, arms flailing. Throw him a rope. If he grabs the rope, pull him out. Simple. Rescue complete. But in real life it seldom works that simply. There are complications. Lots of them. … [Read more...] about Beating the Pedestal Syndrome: Help for Pastors Drowning in the Ministry

Attention Disorders and Addictions

An Interview with Wendy Richardson   While attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—often called simply attention deficit disorder (ADD)—affects only about 5 percent of the general population, studies have shown that 40 to 50 percent of addicts and alcoholics have ADHD.

Shame as a tool of the devil or….how shame stymies spiritual renewal

June 25, 2018 By Teresa McBean

I don’t know how to keep shame from creeping into a room. Heck, I don’t even know how to keep shame from eating away at my heart. But because I personally have struggled with shame so much I have learned a few techniques that help me manage it, even as I work and wait for healing. Shame is going to make merry anytime we are trying to improve our conscious contact with God or become more decently … [Read more...] about Shame as a tool of the devil or….how shame stymies spiritual renewal

Recovery from Spiritual Anorexia

by Dale Ryan I remember when I first heard about people who were anorexic with respect to food. I was confused by the whole idea. Why would people refuse to eat? Why would people refuse to eat even when they were hungry? Why would people refuse to eat even when they were dying of starvation? But it does happen. Some people reject physical nurture. Sometimes, ironically, they reject … [Read more...] about Recovery from Spiritual Anorexia

Interviews with Three People Who Asked for Help

1. GETTING PAST THE SHAME Sandy Wilson is a well-known author and popular speaker.

STEPS: Can you tell us something about the first time you got help for yourself? … [Read more...] about Interviews with Three People Who Asked for Help

Theology and Recovery

by Dale Ryan It was a couple of hopeless drunks in Akron, Ohio—not a couple of respectable theologians at a seminary—whom God chose to jump-start the modern recovery movement. I think that was a pretty good decision on God's part. If our problems were just bad theology, then maybe a couple of theologians would have been a better choice. But the problem, for most of … [Read more...] about Theology and Recovery

Notes to Our Older Selves: Practice Humility

September 30, 2019 By Juanita Ryan

Dear Older Self, You may find yourself resisting the changes and growing vulnerabilities of aging because of fear. But you might also find yourself resisting because of feelings of shame. Shame is that belief that if people knew you fully, they would reject you. It is that feeling that you are less-than others. Or the sense that your needs make you look weak and unloveable. You know how shame … [Read more...] about Notes to Our Older Selves: Practice Humility
