What we don't own tends to own us
Ever wondered how anger and love intertwine in our daily lives? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery,' hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the complex emotions of anger and love through a blend of Christian spirituality and psychology. They dive into the prevalence of anger in Scripture, discussing how it’s not about avoiding anger but understanding and managing it.
You'll hear how ignoring or denying anger can give it more power, leading to misplaced frustrations, like the classic example of an angry man kicking his dog for no reason. Wes and Austin emphasise that anger often stems from deeper feelings like fear, shame, and guilt, especially concerning those we love. The conversation also touches on the duality of love and anger, suggesting that one can't be fully understood without the other.
They highlight that while anger is a natural and sometimes divine emotion, it must be balanced with love to avoid destructive outcomes. The hosts argue that recognising love in our lives can help us manage our anger better, making the case that love is a choice and a feeling, much like God's love for us.
This episode offers a compassionate and insightful look into handling tough emotions, making it clear that feeling anger is normal, but how we act on it defines us. If you're grappling with unwanted behaviours or seeking a path to emotional recovery, this episode provides valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions and learn how to channel them positively. Don't miss out on this enlightening discussion that blends spirituality with everyday struggles.
