In today's episode we’re tackling something real, raw, and relatable: emotions. We’ve all felt them — joy, anger, sadness, anxiety — but have you ever stopped to ask what are emotions actually for? In this episode, we’ll unpack the idea that emotions are like warning lights on a dashboard. They’re indicators — not problems in themselves. Emotions are neutral. They aren’t sinful. In fact, they’re a gift from God to alert us to what’s going on inside. But here’s the thing: how we respond to those emotions is what matters most. That’s where the trouble begins — or where healing starts. Scripture doesn’t condemn emotion, but it does speak clearly about our response. Anger isn’t the sin. Losing control and lashing out in anger — that’s where sin enters. Sadness isn’t wrong. But allowing it to spiral into despair or bitterness — that’s where we need to be careful. God calls us to respond in a godly way — to take every thought and feeling captive and submit it to Christ. So today, we’ll talk about what that looks like practically. How do we honour God in our emotional life? What tools has He given us? And how can we respond in a way that leads to growth, maturity, and wholeness? Clarence Rule, an elder in the life of JoshGen Sunningdale and Christine Pienaar, a Christian counselor who serves with her husband as a deacon in the City Bowl congregation, share their wisdom and experience around the subject.
