In this episode Randy + Taylor tackle the emotion of anger. It’s easy for us to become angry. God’s anger is not a sinful anger like the anger in our hearts. God is perfectly righteous and perfectly holy in His anger. So anger can be righteous — we see this exemplified in God. However, the anger in our hearts is typically rooted in a sinful desire. In order to test the source of our anger — we can ask ourselves questions to see if our anger in sinful. Are we angry because we did not get our way? Are we angry because we are jealous of what others have? Are we angry because of what we do not have? Is our anger prideful? Are we quick to anger rather than listening? http://openbible.info/topics/anger #christian #christianpodcast #christianmama #christiandad #biblicalliving #communityovercompetition #Godlovesyou #everythingchristian

In this episode Randy + Taylor dive into dealing with fear and turning it to God. Fear is something that is tangible within our lives. Something that society has told us to fear. Fearing the things of man. When we experience fear if can tempt us into believing that our God is not as strong as the things of this world. But rest assured that the very Word of God proves that this isn’t true. Reminding ourselves that there is not anything that God cannot handle. Source: http://www.openbible.info/topics/fear

In this episode Randy + Taylor go into the difficulty of dealing with bitterness. Bitterness can easily take deep roots in our soul. A bitter spirit can happen to any one of us if we are not careful. A bitter root can grow subtly in our hearts, long before the fruit arises. There is freedom from bitterness, and Randy + Taylor share just how the grace of God can bring beauty from the ugliness of bitterness.  Source: http://www.openbible.info/topics/bitterness
