comparison, and our past to define who we are.

accountability, condemnation, vulnerability, and hearing God's voice, this episode challenges us

Exposure isn't about shame. It's about bringing what has been hidden into the light so that

Your past doesn't disqualify you. Your mistakes don't have to define you. And you don't have to
stay bound by the things God is asking you to surrender.
Sometimes the first step toward freedom is simply being willing to be honest.
