Rebecca walks listeners through how to:

• Recognize signs of shame, including difficulty receiving love or help, compulsive “worthiness hustling,” and being overly sensitive to rejection or criticism.
• Speak biblical truth over themselves using identity-focused Scriptures such as 2 Corinthians 5:17 (You are a new creation in Christ) and other affirmations of God's approval, love, and acceptance.
• Engage in ongoing mind renewal—replacing lies with God's truth again and again, not as a one-time fix, but as a daily spiritual rhythm.
• Acknowledge shame in safe, vulnerable community where shame loses its power in the presence of connection and grace.
• Use tools like a shame assessment to begin naming what’s really going on internally and bringing those burdens to God in exchange for the double portion He promises.

Rebecca also touches on the science of how renewing your thoughts impacts your physical body (epigenetics) and how even seasoned believers need to continuously root their identity in Christ rather than their performance. This episode is full of Scripture, compassion, and encouragement to walk in the truth of who God says you are—not what shame tries to tell you.

Special Guest: Rebecca Hitchcock.

Raised in a Christian home and once a high-level fashion director in Chicago, Rebecca eventually left her career to raise her family and pursue deeper spiritual healing. For more than two decades, she has led women’s Bible studies across the Midwest, helping others find freedom in Christ. Her book, What I Didn't Learn in Church, shares many of these lessons and is available at [rebeccahitchcock.org](rebeccahitchcock.org).

Rebecca explains how her understanding of God’s Word radically shifted her experience of shame. She invites listeners to stop hustling for worthiness and instead receive the “double portion” of acceptance and identity God offers in Scripture. Together, Nadine and Rebecca walk through key Bible passages that anchor the episode’s message, including:

Isaiah 61:7 — Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion.
2 Corinthians 5:17 — Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:21 — He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God.
Matthew 11:28 — Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

This episode reminds every woman that shame has no claim on her life when she stands in Christ’s freedom. Rebecca encourages listeners to take even five minutes to sit with God, ask for His love, and begin exchanging shame for the truth of who they are in Him.
