What if the truest thing about you isn’t your success or your failures — but that you are deeply loved by God?

In this powerful and grace-filled episode of The FOUND Podcast, pastor and bestselling author Ken Shigematsu joins Lorie Hartshorn to discuss his new book, Now I Become Myself: How Deep Grace Heals Our Shame and Restores Our True Self.

Ken shares his journey from working in Tokyo’s corporate world to leading one of Canada’s most vibrant churches, and how God’s transforming love freed him from the pressure to perform. Together, they unpack how grace restores what shame distorts — and how we can finally live from our true self in Christ: secure, whole, and deeply loved.

If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, burnout, or feeling “not enough,” this conversation will remind you that God’s grace is the foundation of your identity and healing.

🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube — and discover the freedom of becoming your true self in Christ.
