If your wife has ever been frustrated with you because you have not been able to show your emotions,

then today's episode is going to be helpful for you, or maybe you swing too hard the other direction and you are overly emotional, completely ruled by your emotions. Today's episode will also be helpful for you. I'm excited for you to dive in. Before we do that, I want to thank my friends over at Classical Conversations for sponsoring today's episode. If you are at all considering homeschooling, I highly suggest that you check out Classical Conversations.

We are a Classical Conversations family and have been for years.

I love them.

I love that they work with parents to equip the parents to use the world as a classroom.

They're helping you teach your kids how to think, not just what to think.

They are helping you raise critical thinkers who love Jesus. You can learn more about classical conversations by going to classicalconversations.com forward slash dad tired podcast. Also I want to remind you that you are running out of time if you want to go to the dad tired retreat. We are about to close registration. So if you want to grab your spot for that, I would go to dadtire.com, click the annual retreat tab. You can get more information on it, but also you are very, very, very close to missing out on it, and we don't want you to miss out on it. It will be the reset that your soul desperately needs. You will be a better husband and father. I promise you. I know it's hard to break away, but you will be a better husband

and a better father when you get back from this week in retreat. All right, that being said,

let's dive into today's episode. It's been kind of interesting lately because I've been having

the same conversation, kind of in my job and in parenting and even in my marriage, which is

what relationship does a godly man have with his emotions?

And just like a drunk man trying to get on a horse, you almost always fall off towards one side,

which is you can either be on the side of emotions are to be rejected, or the other side is emotions are to be received and obeyed and maybe as guys

the generalized consensus is that emotions need to be rejected right and when we say if I said are you

an emotional guy you might respond with no and I say how come you like I don't cry at movies

I don't cry during arguments I don't cry

when I go to someone's funeral and which is interesting because we're really creating them this

strange expectation that all emotion is just sadness and sadness is the only thing we mean by

emotion or something that leads us to tears is what we mean by being emotional. And yet those same

guys who are like, no, I'm not, I'm not emotional. You put them on a golf course and they shank a shot and

they start screaming. And that's actually an emotion too. That's an emotion called anger. And so

what relationship does a godly man have with emotion? And I think the third direction is that emotions should be redeemed.
