You Have Permission

Dan Koch and I talked about the anti-emotionalism in Evangelicalism, Jesus’s humanity and emotions, spiritual bypassing, and emotional granularity (increasing our emotion vocabulary and concepts).

Christelle Lerryn

Christelle and I explored Jesus’s human emotions, how women are hurt by the idea that emotions are not welcome in church, how anti-emotionalism keeps victims trapped in abuse, and how we can confront and end abuse in Christian circles. She asked, on both emotions and abuse, “What now? What next? How do we change things?” I love that forward focus, and we came up with a list of ideas for changing culture.

Being With

Geoff and I discussed what it means to follow our feelings in a healthy way rather than ignoring them in our spiritual life.

Are Our Emotions Part of the Discipleship Process (with Becky Castle Miller)
