Shame. What do you think about when I say that word? If you’re like me then it’s likely that certain actions come to your mind that you regret, but it’s not actually those actions, or behaviors, that make those memories come to the surface; no, behaviors deal with guilt, shame deals with image and state of being. So when you think of those memories chances are those things are points when you really questioned who you were and if you were actually worth anything if you were capable some behavior like you exhibited in those moments.

Now there are two directions you can take shame towards the benefit of humility (proactive vulnerability) and its many benefits, or the impairments of toxic shame, self-rejection, pride or rage (usually a fearful reaction to the emotion of worthlessness).

I think this is important for F3 Men to get for several reasons that can be found as core principles in our mission to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leaders.

Leaders must be willing to engage areas of shame in their lives humbly and vulnerable so that they inspire their followers to do the same and achieve their greatest selves by daring greatly. I love Berne Brown’s quote from Theodore Roosevelt about the Man in the Arena, and how rather he wins or loses his success is in daring greatly. And that’s what we have a chance to do and encourage others to do when we

For me as a Christian also means bringing the greatest glory to God as I reflect His image in who I was created to be. As a matter of fact, I think that behind humbly engaging vulnerability from a place of healthy shame is hope in that power that is greater than ourselves. The way we build that is to enter trials and suffering – places of vulnerability – (both those we imply and those implied upon us) in humility and not in toxic paralyzing shame, self-rejection, pride or rage. Those things produce endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God – the higher power I believe in –  has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

(Romans 5:3-5) To me, that’s one of the most foundational truths about God, that He acted first for us in humility and vulnerability – even unto death – so that we might be able to dare greatly and do the same.

So hears the deal. I want you to think about where you are most vulnerable to shame and instead of living in that place walk out of it focusing on what/who you are taking hope in so that you can engage that by living it out humbly as you lead in your various spheres of influence. Your not perfect and and you have weak points and that is OK, you can still strive for excellence and achieve great things while inspiring those around you to do the same.
