In this episode we continue looking at how God's plan for us humans actually does NOT include our right to righteous anger - or any anger at all for that matter! Sound crazy? So did Jesus!

Living a life free from anger feels about as impossible as living a life free from lust. Yet, not only does God invite us to this holiness, He has given us the power, through His grace, to be able to do exactly that.

I encourage you to listen to this episode. If you, like me, suffer from anger, perhaps it's time to start to change!

I didn't think I was an angry guy when growing up. Then I got married and had kids, and started to discover just how much I really do struggle with anger. Though I made some good progress in dealing with it, I always thought if anger as somehow a "sometimes OK" kind of thing.

The book Unoffendable, written by Brant Hansen, has deeply challenged this view.

What if indulging in Anger, like Lust (e.g. Pornography), isn't the sort of thing that is "sometimes OK?" What if, instead, Christ calls us to live a life based on radical forgiveness, the forgiveness that can only come through His grace? If you want to live a better life, free from anger, this book can help.

In this first episode of several, I start to explore Brant's view anger.

S01E21 With God

Lent is nearly over, and we're just starting Holy Week (at the time of recording at least.) In so many ways God asks us to stay with Him, and stay faithful to Him, and most of all to repent and return to Him every time we stumble.

In this episode we explore how we can be the hero, we can receive God's blessing, only when we are faithful and obedient. But, how do we actually do that? In the crazy world we live in, it's so easy to be consumed by the world. Let's turn back to God.
