It has likely been your story in some fashion at some time in your career. This is the story shame wants to tell. It is the story of hiding fragility. The story of showering those who are smart, gifted and charismatic with approbations, and those who are less so with, well, less. The story in which we have conflicts but are too afraid to face the emotions we anticipate will be waiting for us. These emotions have their source in the shame whose attendant tells us that we are not enough and that Jesus is not enough for us to have this conversation.
