Unashamed but Not Shameless: The Difference That Changes Everything

Toni Kim has a new book coming in August 2026—"Shame Redeemed: Learning to Live in Christ's Freedom." She is a Taiwanese-American pastor who tireless worked on a seminary thesis about shame in Scripture and this book makes all that studied research accessible. This conversation covers the critical distinction between unashamed and shameless, how social media cancel culture has turned shame into a universal experience, and why the church has yet to become what it should be: a place where people can walk in with their shame and be covered rather than condemned. Toni and DJ also get personal — talking about shame that feels like blinding condemnation in the moment, why community is essential (not optional) for healing, and what to actually do when you're frozen and can't think your way out. • Show Notes at https://erasingshame.com/unashamed-bu...
