Summary

Living with a heart fully alive is one of the best gifts you can give your family and pass onto your children. But emotions are complicated. They can be clouded by our circumstances, suppressed in favor of “getting things done,” or ignored to avoid confrontation. Unfortunately, this can easily become our default, especially when certain religious traditions equate emotion with sin.

We’re in Season 2 titled “Awakening the Heart,” and in episode 5, Josh and Christi discuss how we are to take our emotions to God and partner with the Holy Spirit in them. Are emotions from God? If so, what does He want us to do with them? Can they be a pathway to living a more fulfilled and “lived” life? Listen in as Josh and Christi share how they prayerfully take their emotions to God in prayer, and partner with the Holy Spirit in their everyday lives.
