Season 3 Ep. 31 - How to Embrace Biblical Truths for a Healthy Emotional Life w/ guest Elizabeth Laing Thompson

Discovering the foundational biblical truths we need to embrace in order to construct an emotional life that is healthy, happy, and holy is the focus of this podcast.  So how are you doing with your feelings?  Do you tend to ride them like a roller coaster?  Do you get stuck in the mud with one feeling or another for way too long?  Or do you feel shame for battling your emotions?  Well, there’s good news for those of us who love God and seek to follow his ways. You might be surprised to hear this, but the Bible has a lot to say about our feelings. It tells us which feelings are godly and good for us, and it even gives us ideas for how to encourage those feelings to grow. The Bible also tells us which emotions we need to watch out for—which ones can hurt us if they get out of control—and gives us ideas for how we can limit or avoid them. The Bible can help us learn how to work on our feelings— to take charge of them, instead of letting them push us around.Our guest today Elizabeth Laing Thompson shares from her books titled All the Feels and All the Feels for Teens by helping us understand that by embracing how God has designed and created us, we are freed up to have better and more full relationships with others because of our emotions, not in spite of them.Watch the podcast and leave comments here:  Coffee and Bible Time - YouTubeCoffee and Bible Time - Prayer Journal and Prayer BinderFaithful Counseling - Get 10% off your first month (Faithful Counseling is our sponsor)Suggestions from Elizabeth:All the Feels by Elizabeth Laing ThompsonAll the Feels for Teens by Elizabeth Laing ThompsonTyndale NLT Filament BibleArchaeological BibleLizzylife.comBlueLetterBible.orgElizabetSupport the showCheck out our website for more ways to fully connect to God's Word.
