Shame and the Gospel: transforming Our View of the Gospel and Our Communities

By Trevor Withers

How do we connect the gospel message to the epidemic of shame in western culture? Trevor explores why our culture is now more shame based, and reflects on how the gospel message can make sense in this new reality. He unpacks what this means for the way we form our contemporary Christian communities whilst asking questions about their language, shape, style and leadership.

Trevor is the team leader of Network Church in Harpenden. He also co-leads Cell UK which encourages the development of small groups in churches. Trevor runs a community pottery studio with a friend to encourage people in their creativity. He has a heart to see our faith lived out in every area of our lives. He is married to Pam and they have four grown up children and three granddaughters.
