Vulnerability Is A Fear Killer

Have you ever felt like you needed to share something personal but held back? Healthy vulnerability (personal things shared in the right way) can be powerful for self and relationships with others.

If you were asked, “What is your biggest secret?”, how would you respond? For most people, we internalize shame as we think about our secrets. Why hold onto that secret? The core answer is fear, fear that if anyone knew our secret, they wouldn’t love, care for, or respect us anymore.

Courage is the ability to tell your story regardless of how others react (or will react). When you act in courage, you gain power to overcome fear, doubt, and shame. This is especially useful when facing betrayal or addiction.

How can you apply courage in your relationships?

In relation to vulnerability, we have created a new series called “Vulnerable Stories”. This series is a place for powerfully honest and vulnerable stories to be shared in overcoming hardship and finding redemption in God.
