One of our foundational axioms is that God is Always Present and At Work. If you believe this and act as if it’s true, you have a sacramental worldview, whether you’d call it that or not. Pastor and author Glenn Packiam joins us on the podcast today to talk about why this kind of sacramental worldview is essential if we’re going to join Jesus in his mission.
Glenn Packiam is one of the associate senior pastors at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the lead pastor of New Life Downtown, a congregation of New Life Church, the author numerous books, and a really great guy!

Ok, so I am a therapist, so I may be biased by my appreciation for Brene Brown’s work, but I think she agrees with a lot of what you guys discussed! I think that healthy/helpful shame you described, she calls “guilt,” and she also says that the only people who don’t feel shame are sociopaths. I’m not sure the goal, in her view, is to never feel shame, but to learn to recognize (toxic) shame, and learn how to manage it. She also agrees that it is healed in relationship. Anyway – I think there is much more agreement between her work and what was talked about on this episode than what you all seemed to see. 🙂 As always, I appreciate the thought- and hopefully action-provoking podcast.
Heather, I completely agree! We resonate very strongly with Brené Brown’s work, so my hunch is that any impression of disagreement with her was likely unintentional. Thanks for the feedback!
