I used to tell myself I was an idiot all the time - as a Christian woman this is how I found freedom from shame

Toni Kim shares her personal struggle with shame and the freedom she continues to find in Christ. With vulnerability and biblical insight, she reminds Christian women that while shame may try to define us, our true identity is found in being deeply loved daughters of God.

I can’t tell you how many times a day I call myself an idiot. Sometimes I even blurt it out loud. Other times it stays as a mental refrain. I want to get a cup but open the cabinet of plates. Idiot. I can’t find my phone for the fifth time that day. Idiot. Then I find my phone, and my five-minute break somehow becomes an hour wasted on it. Idiot. Realizing that I missed an important deadline. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Becoming aware that I’ve tried unsuccessfully for decades to stop this knee-jerk name-calling of myself? Shame on me.
