Your Feelings Are Real. They Are Not Who You Are.

Episode notes

Culture says "I feel it, therefore I am it." Scripture does not.

Feelings are real. They make terrible masters. A pastor and a licensed counselor explain the difference.

You’ll learn:
• Why “I feel anxious” so easily becomes “I am an anxious person”
• The difference between primary and secondary emotions
• Why “when something is hysterical, it’s historical”
• How Cain, Peter, and Jesus Himself handled intense emotion
• Practical questions that help you dig beneath the surface instead of being controlled by it
• Why your identity is not what you feel it’s who Christ says you are

This conversation will help you stop being ruled by your emotions and start letting truth lead.
