Description

Today's episode is all about anger. It's an emotion that can do great harm and one that also has great benefits.  
Whether you thrive on anger or try your best to bury it, one thing's for sure—we all have to reckon with it. When you learn to work with your anger, it can become a powerful force for good in your life and in the lives of the people you love. Today, my friend Rowena Day (see Episode 31) returns to the podcast as we discuss how we've learned to create space for healthy anger in our lives.
Here's what we cover:  
1. Practical strategies to befriend and build trust with anger 
2. The guilt and fear we feel about having anger 
3. How to manage anger while parenting
4.  Examples of speaking on behalf of anger vs. from it
5. The problem with comparing our pain to the pain of others
6. Jesus and anger
