Shameless Shannan Orr

Has anyone ever tried to label you as unworthy, unaccepted, or unlovable? Society hands out labels as if there were a reward for it, and they can be cruel about it--offering shame as a motivation to change your physical appearance, behavior, or economic status.

You might even have applied your own invisible name tag to identify how you feel about your body image, your race, the abuse you have suffered, regrets of addictions, failures, or poor decisions.

Religious traditions have been some of the strongest voices to tell us all the reasons we SHOULD be ashamed. "Shameless" invites you to challenge those beliefs and break free from the burden of the obligation of performance-based religion so you can live freely in the love and acceptance of our Good Father, who never intended us to live in shame or condemnation. Jesus told us plainly that He did not come into the world to condemn us, but rather to rescue us.

Are you willing to be open to the possibility that there may be something new for God to reveal to you? Would you like to be free from all the ugly labels you wear? Open the book! Your season of hiding is over!
