Leashed Up
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young compares unforgiveness to a dog dragging a park bench through traffic, teaching from the parable of the unmerciful servant that forgiveness is more for the offended than the offender, and calls believers to identify who is "sitting on the bench" of their lives and unleash the shame they've been dragging around.
Developing The Subtle Art of Shame
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young preaches an ironic "how to increase your shame" through the tragic life of King Saul—talking down about yourself, resisting vulnerability, bragging, following your heart, and criticizing your peers—then flips each one, calling believers instead to God's truth, honest vulnerability, self-awareness, and obedience.
The Sandstorm Of Shame
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young uses the story of Moses—who murdered an Egyptian and buried him in the sand—to show how shame drives us to hide, cover, and blame, and teaches that God forgives and forgets, turning the "period" of shame into the "comma" of grace as he did in calling a fugitive to become a great deliverer.
The Shame Game
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young opens the series by defining shame as the all-consuming sense that we've let down ourselves, others, and God, and traces its origin to the Garden of Eden—showing how the enemy lures us into the cycle of the fame, lame, and blame games while God offers humility, vulnerability, and responsibility through the cross.
The Rock of Courage
In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young uses the life of Simon Peter—who crumbled at crunch time yet became a man of great courage—to show that spiritual, moral, and relational courage flow from walking with the Son, worshiping the Father, and witnessing through the Spirit, reminding believers that Jesus sees their potential and restores them when they fail.
