Listening to Shame
Another video by Brene Brown, this time the follow-up to her earlier TEDTalk on vulnerability. After talking briefly about the personal repercussions of her previous Talk, she shares more of her research on shame. Shame is a powerful category in our lives and world that is, as she shows, critical to distinguish from guilt or remorse. For while guilt reminds us that we have done something wrong, shame says declares that we ourselves are wrong. It’s a powerful and important Talk, and I hope you have time to watch it and share it with those you love.

David,
I’m watching Brene Brown’s video while taking a break from planning the Week Six session of “Making Sense of the Cross”. In reference to that book, I see powerful connections between accepting God’s “I know you” and allowing oneself to be vulnerable. Great stuff – thanks!
