Part 1 - Brene to the Rescue!
In this first sermon, entitled Brené to the Rescue!, researcher/storyteller Brené Brown sets out to solve the mystery of human connection and comes face-to-face with the great connection killer: Shame. As a part of the sermon, the congregation undertakes an activity to challenge the shame of struggling with shame, seeing visually that this is a very common challenge among us.
(Early in the sermon we watched a 6 minute segment of Brené's TED Talk. To respect the copyright on that talk, it is not included in the video below. So I suggest you pause at that point and watch the first 6 minutes here.)

Part 2 - The Shame Game
Here's the second of my four week series on shame. We get a look at the core of Brene's insights on shame, and then I make the connection to faith. In a nutshell, I modify her wise words:
"Let yourself be seen, and believe that you are enough."
...to link them to the spiritual reality of the loving God in this way:
"Let yourself be seen by God, and believe your Father when He tells you that you are enough."
To watch the clip of Brene I refer to, go to bit.ly/browntedtalks and watch the segment from 6:06 to 11:20.

Part 3 - Brene, to the Therapist!
Here's the third in my four-week series on shame. I share a lot about my own interior life this week to show the multiple ways I see the Lord at work to heal and bless me, and to help destigmatize the very valuable things God provides through counseling and medication!
To watch the clip of Brene I refer to, go to bit.ly/browntedtalks and watch the segment from 10:50 to 14:40.
Also, if you want to see the Powerpoint slides directly, as they are hard to see on the video, you can find them here.
