You know how it goes. You see somebody talking about something long enough and they seem like they're an expert in it. Like, oh, he knows all about this. Well, my thing is, I wrote this book about anger called Unoffendable, and we talk about it a lot

on the show, too. I think it's a fundamental problem with all humans, with all of us. I think the

Bible points it out. It's lack of forgiveness at root. But just so you know, like, when I talk about

this stuff, I do not, it's not easy for me. It's not like, oh, so he doesn't have any struggles, whatever, with anger or anything

like that.

Not at all.

The question is, what do you do with it when anger happens?

It happens to me.

I'll flip through the news or I'll flip through Facebook or Twitter.

I'll be insulted.

I mean, it's clear these people are trying to insult people like me. I get it.

And so there is that flash of anger. The question is, what do I do with that thought? What do I

with that emotion? Or do I turn it over to God and actually forgive people? And so if I ever give

the impression, by the way, that, oh, Mr. Spiritual, he's risen above anger. No, no, no, it all happens.

But then when does the forgiveness kick in? That's the question. So glad God didn't just give us a book.

I mean, the Bible's wonderful. It really is. It's a huge blessing for life. Totally. It helps us

understand who he is, what his plan is, who jesus is but he did better than give us a book

he gave us a person and man is that better just at the root of like trying to forgive other people

it's such a struggle it'd be one thing if i got a book about okay you need to forgive people all right

it's another thing if it's a person who models it, oh, I get to see it. He's on the

cross. The people were very wrong. They were unjust. They were unfair. They were mockers.
