THE BIBLICAL FRAMEWORK
Framework of Wholeness
The sacred journey is framed by the Father’s Blessing, where the participant prophetically receives God’s affirming words of value, worth and identity to follow Christ:
1. Vertical
Healing the distorted image of God, shifting the soul’s relational orientation from terror to Father.
2. Internal
Healing the “broken Self”, transitioning from entrenched values of extrinsic worth to the Christ-centred honoured identity of sonship to the Father.
3. Horizontal
Healing relationships by seeing the Presence and Sacrifice of Jesus in between Self and the Oppressor, replacing social aggression or withdrawal, with wisdom (for systemic abuse) and where possible, peace and reconciliation in Christ.
From our Broken Self: Our Worldly Identity
1. Social Shame
“Testimonials provide a sense of what it's like to work with you or use your products. Change the text and add your own."
2. Internal Shame
When I shame self, essentially saying, “I must be shamed, so that you / standards will be honored.”
3. Spiritual Shame
When I say to God, “This is My Body,” which are spiritual roots of not imaging Christ (e.g., identity issues, abortion, other social issues)

Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
… Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27
For there is one God,
and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:5
Isaiah 53:3-12 Prophecy about Jesus Christ, 700 BCE
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows;
Yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities;
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer;
and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors.
Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors
Wholeness: Mending the Spirit, the Self, and the Collective
The triple bind of shame addresses three distinct dimensions of the human experience:
1. Spiritual Shame
Healing the distorted image of God. Moving from a “disappointing slave” to a “beloved child in Christ” through a direct encounter with Christ, the Revealer and Redeemer.
2. Self-Shaming
Healing self-shaming and the empty or “broken self.” Moving from performance-based extrinsic worth of an obligated slave to Sonship-based honor grateful obedience.
3. Social Shame
Healing relationships and cultural scripts. Moving from rejected, powerless, and despised, to carrying the Father’s Blessing to the unreached with a relational round table of believers.
