S3:E6 BIBLICAL OR NOT? EMOTIONS AND THE SPIRT OF SELF-CONTROL

Send us a text

In the previous episode, I ended on the topic that we know that distancing ourselves from our feelings helps us process through them. And we can use this truth and others to train up our emotional intelligence, giving us an emotional maturity that willfully enters in before emotions hijack. We can use such training to choose to shift our emotional states or stay in them. If we know we have this choice, we’ll probably be more liable to welcome in our emotions and be more capable to appropriately respond to the messages they bring rather than stuffing them for fear of their potential power over us.We have choice. We can choose calm, as the psalmist did. We can.But to do so, we must desire to welcome and train our emotions to align with Christ, just as we work to align our logical minds with Him. To fully train our minds, we must train both the emotional and the logical parts of our brain, as our emotional and cognitive processes work together to guide our decisions and actions.Remember, our emotions assign value to the choices we make.
