Can you explain?

An interesting statement from the beginning of both videos is something like this:

Most people suffer from SHAME ... they think they are struggling against sin or their flesh/carnality ... IN REALITY THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM SHAME.

Another interesting sound byte from the Vimeo video is that Wright believes that one of the things holding up "Apostolic Revival" is shame and that the pouring down will happen when his people are made "whole"

If the shame is a result of ignorance (fixation on something not really sinful), then by all means, help! If it's a result of sin, then it's healthy. Shame and condemnation differ. Shame drives us to the cross. Condemnation drives us away from the cross.

I still don't completely get the conference and the shame plug. Are they pointing everyone to the cross? Telling them to feel better about themselves? What's the catch?
