Shame-Based Families Versus Grace-Based Families
When raised in a shame-based family one can easily find life to be fraught with emotional landmines. Relationships can be difficult because of shame-based thinking. Shame can lock you into cognitive distortions that cause difficulties in marriage, parenting, work relationships and friendships.

In this podcast, Pastor Brad compares the difference between a shame-based family and a grace-based family.
Simply put, this is a must listen to podcast for everyone! Whether you have a mental health challenge or not, you will want to hear this podcast. This program will be of benefit to you.… Read More
