In this unit, we will learn how shame entered our lives and how it affects us. We will study shame under the headings of shame as a healthy emotion; and shame as an emotion that poisons us. We will also look at the way this emotion affects our behavior. We will also learn how the death of Jesus Christ on the cross has set us free from shame, and how we are to live our lives in Christ in this freedom.

MATERIALS
01_07_01 Getting to Know Our Embarrassment
This study deals with healthy and unhealthy shame and their effects on us.
01_07_02 Masked Shame
What defense mechanisms have we developed to hide the shame we experience, or to cope with it? Our study deals with these, as well as the way we use them as masks to hide behind.
01_07_03 Jesus Who Forgives, Purifies, Removes Our Shame
In this study, we discuss the way we have been set free by Jesus Christ, as He sacrificed Himself on the cross to set us free from every kind of sin and shame. We also see how deeply and clearly Jesus understands our shame.
01_07_04 How To Proceed
In our study, we look at the way our culture or those round about us try to weigh us down with feelings of shame, but also how we can then continue living our lives free of that shame.
