If someone was angry at me, then they couldn't love me. So to be loved, I had to make sure I didn't make people angry

They explore how these powerful emotions can coexist and influence our relationships and faith. Both hosts share personal stories, reflecting on their own struggles with expressing anger while maintaining a sense of love, especially within the context of Christian teachings.
