``I think one of the things shame does is that it it makes us see God as a threat rather than a refuge. Yes. You know, you talk about Adam and Eve there. You know, God's walking through the garden looking for them. They're they're hiding. Mhmm. You know, they're running from them. They don't wanna they don't wanna see him because they're worried that God is a threat. I heard someone say one time, like, I wanna be the kind of dad that when my kids mess up, they go, I need to find my dad, not my dad's gonna kill me. Right. You know, like that that kind of thing. And so I think I think shame, you left unchecked, it it turns God into the like a threat to us, you know, rather than someone that we should run to.
