1012. The Blessings and Danger of Anger (Part 1) | The Connecting Podcast Ep. 050

When was the last time you got angry? Why did you get angry? Who were you angry with? What was the fruit of that anger?We experience anger every day, but not all anger is wrong—and not all anger should be resisted. In this Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby Abbott begin an extended conversation on the blessings and dangers of anger.Anger, while not listed as a fruit of the Spirit, can be a righteous, God-honoring response. Our God is filled with holy anger, and as his image-bearers, we are called to reflect his character.That means we have the capacity for godly anger, and there are real blessings that can come with it. But sin has corrupted our hearts, giving us an equally real capacity to twist something good into something destructive. What begins as righteous anger can quickly become selfish and harmful.The Bible is shockingly honest about anger, and Paul and Shelby are here to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to our everyday lives as they explore both the blessings and the dangers of anger.
