Fear, Anxiety & Finding Confidence in the Lord

In this episode with LFBI professor & professional counsellor Jon Kindler we address several key questions on the topic of fear — What is its place in our life? Is there a spiritual component to fear? What are the broken mechanisms we use to cope with fear in the flesh that always fail in time? What happens when fear goes unchecked by truth?
Lastly, we see what God’s Word says about dealing with fear. This leads us to a spiritual walk marked by freedom in faith by the power of God.

God loves marriage and has made it an integral part of the health of the church. We also know that marriage can be hard and many people struggle to have joyous and fruitful marital relationships. We discuss what it looks like to counsel married couples in the church by learning to comfort hurting people while biblically confronting incongruent behaviors.

What to Do with Anger and Resentment

As far as psychology is concerned, anger is perhaps the most complex and least understood human emotion. We know the anger is necessary. It's an emotion that gives us drive, it makes us competitive, and it motivates us to overcome tough situations. We know that anger can also cause turmoil. it can be explosive and cause destruction in our families, our relationships, our workplaces, and even in our churches. So how do we know when anger is appropriate or inappropriate? How should we carry anger? How should we respond to it when we feel it boiling up? How do we know when we should express anger outwardly or deal with it internally? We’ll answer these questions and many more on today’s show.
