The Conscious Christian Marriage Podcast Episode 21: Jesus Was Emotional Too: The Bible's Take on Your Feelings
In this eye-opening episode, Austin and Rachel Holt debunk a common misconception that feelings and God’s guidance cannot coexist. Many have heard, "Don’t trust your emotions; just listen to the Holy Spirit." But what if God speaks through both? Tune in as the Holts explore the powerful connection between emotions, desires, and God’s voice, showing that ignoring emotions can actually distance us from the Holy Spirit.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why emotions and God's voice aren't mutually exclusive
- The biblical foundation for embracing your emotions (Ephesians 4:26, Proverbs 4:23)
- How understanding your emotions can strengthen your marriage and spiritual life
- The cognitive-behavioral model that explains how trauma, beliefs, and emotions affect your actions
- Practical steps to regulate emotions and seek God through them
Bonus:
Discover real-life examples of emotional breakthroughs and how they have transformed lives and marriages. Plus, don't miss today's nonprofit shoutout to While We're Waiting, a ministry supporting grieving parents.
