Episode 23: Am I wounded or am I sinful?

Today on the podcast, we're diving into this question I keep bumping up against: Am I wounded or am I a sinner?

On one hand we go to church, and we’re told you're sinful; you need to repent, you need to die to yourself.

On the other hand, we go to therapy, and we're told you're wounded; you've had trauma. You need to heal, so you can become more of your true self.

So which one is it? In today's podcast episode, we discuss:

1. What is woundedness and how does it impact our behaviors? 

2. What is sin? 

3. The problem of shame 

4. What about "the other side of sin" - the wounds of the sinned against? 

5. What about repentance? 

6. An application from the Bible 

7. A next step you can take
