Send us a text

How do you respond when anger bubbles up, threatening to control your actions and emotions? In this episode, we kick off a transformative nine-week journey through Robert Jones' book "Uprooting Anger" with a foundational discussion on what anger truly is. By examining its biblical definition as an active response to perceived evil, we invite you to reflect on your personal experiences with anger. Grab your journal and get ready to identify and address your triggers and responses, setting the stage for true transformation.

Feeling trapped in a cycle of frustration, especially during everyday scenarios like traffic jams? You're not alone. Join us as we dissect the nature of anger, its triggers, and how it manifests in our lives. Through relatable examples, we explore the idea that anger is an active response we can control, involving our beliefs, feelings, actions, and desires. Learn how to reconstruct your underlying beliefs, thoughts, and actions to master anger and respond in more constructive, godly ways.

In the face of our struggles with anger, there is hope and grace to be found. This episode delves into overcoming anger through faith and humility, emphasizing the importance of submitting to God, resisting the devil, and drawing near to Him. We discuss the significance of repentance and the doctrine of justification, offering a path to peace, strength, and purification. Reflect on the abundant peace, hope, and joy that come from being justified by faith, and join us in prayer for global conflicts and those affected by 9-11, seeking peace through Christ, the Prince of Peace.
