Summary

Dallas Willard said it so well when he said, “Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.” We live in the “I feel, therefore I am” culture and no longer live in truth. In today’s show, we discuss how our emotions are tools given to us by God. God values emotions and feelings, but we must have them in the right order. We discuss how parenting is a space where emotions come up often, not just for our kids but for us as parents. We go over six big emotions that arise within us and our children, and then we explore different ways to relate to these emotions. Enjoy!
