Hey everybody, we welcome back to another episode of your favorite aunties podcast. What a do, baby. What's up? You know what? I am so excited that I don't feel no shame. That I don't feel no conviction. That I don't feel. I don't feel guilty and I haven't been found guilty. Hallelujah.

You see what I got on today?

I'm feeling righteous.

Not in within my own self,

because my righteousness was filthy rags.

That's right.

Huh?

Come on.

But it is because of God.

Yeah, that's right.

He is taking that shame, guilt and conviction.

Why would you convict it?

He ain't taking the conviction.

No, I'm shame and the guilt. The shame and the guilt. Yes. Are gone.

Hey man, I can testify about it.

Matter of fact, I had heard of sermons so good the other week behind conviction. Made my life turn around. Yeah. You got convicted, huh? Oh baby. Oh, it was good to me. I said, yeah, I got to clean up what I messed up. start my life over again.

They don't know about that.

They don't know, y'all are safe.

They don't know about that.

So somebody actually had commented. but I missed it. Starting my life over again. They don't know y'all are safe.

They don't know about that. So somebody actually had commented and forgive me for not remembering who it was and what your name was, but shout out to you about doing an episode about the difference between shame, guilt and conviction, which I thought would be really important because we do have a lot of spiritual and faith-based conversations

and that is a large part of our faith, like walking out what the what convictions are and the difference between them. So let us know. One, let's start with shame. What is shame and have you experienced it? Yes, Shame is when somebody is to find out about something that's going on in your life, and you find it to be like embarrassing, and you feel like it's so negative in that it overpowers how people can look at you. Like shame is thinking about the decisions that you've made and knowing that somebody else can judge you from them, or we'll try to judge you from them. Because I know when I talk to you about the other week about what we met on, and a piece of that felt shameful because it's like, why did not make a better decision? So sometimes it's really hard. Yeah. I will say like jumping, jumping a little forward instead of breaking them down, shame and guilt, shame to me is like the external because it's based on what like you say, what other people may see, feel or get from whatever was done. But for me, guilt is internal. Like I personally feel like what I did was wrong, regardless of whether somebody else views it as wrong. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, great definition. Great breakdown. Love that for you, Rabbi. But both of them, I feel like God wants us to let go of in order to live a free life, right? Because we can feel convicted like you are mentioning, feeling convicted after a sermon. Conviction is you can do better. That's all that means to me. And that's not a bad thing because we can all do better. That's not anything I need to internalize. I don't have to feel guilty about getting convicted. I don't have to feel ashamed about being convicted about something. It's simply a measure of, hey, you can do better. But I don't need to feel bad about myself, nor do I need to be concerned about how other people view the situation. It is me and the Lord holding me to a certain standard. That is so good. I love it when you break stuff down. No, I mean, that's very good. And I know for a long time, I was walking in places of guilt, you know, just because of the decisions that I made and some of the things that I done, it's just like, no, you don't have to do that. Or also walk it around with false convictions. Mm-hmm.
