Emotions Are Not Your Enemy (#590)




The God Journey show

Summary: What's so amazing about God is that he is deeply invested in the lives of his creation and often Scripture expresses that assigning emotions to God that parallel our own. And yet, many of us have been taught to cover up our more painful emotions instead of celebrating them whether we find ourselves in joy or sorrow. Love is not just a commitment it is expressed as a deep affection or concern. Brad and Wayne talk about the importance of our emotions and how they connect with God in ways that can touch us far more than the intellect alone. When we deny our emotions, however, we cut ourselves off not just from pain but from joy as well. They discuss how our emotions play into our relationship with God, inviting us into deeper spontaneity with him and more heartfelt engagement with people around us. <br> Podcast Notes:<br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/connect/travel-events/">Wayne's Tour of South Africa</a><br><br> You can find <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/progress-pokot-one-year/">our latest update on our work in Kenya here</a>.<br><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line via Skype at "TheGodJourney"<br>
