This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast.

I wanted to thank you for joining us today.

Hope this inspires you.

Hope it builds your faith.

Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life.

Enjoy the message.

A series is called Triggered. This is week four, and I just trust that you came expecting

today for God to speak to you. Let's look at Second King's Chapter 5.

I'm going to give you my title right up front. The title of this message is, why I went off.

Touched somebody tell them, it's a long story.

When I first decided to preach on this topic of Triggered, I figured that it would help

me personally and then we could do group therapy. But

I wanted to do it from the Word of God because I am not a psychologist, certainly, not a

neuroscientist or anything like that. I interviewed a neuroscientist a few days ago, and that is now

on the Elevation Church YouTube.

So you can go and watch that.

I asked her questions related to the clinical reasons that sometimes we do the things that we do and had a conversation with her about not just understanding things with cliches and jargon

that we sometimes use to cover up our lazy thinking.

And sometimes we spiritualize issues that are practical. And we, in the same time, sometimes try to sell things practically that are spiritual.

And so it was just a great talk. That's on the Elevation Church YouTube, and you can check that out.
