#132: Why Men Don't Cry - Rev. Aaron Carr (Replay)

We are finishing our replay series as Dr. Cheryl Hardy is sharing replays from a few of her favorite episodes of The God and Therapy Podcast. This walk down memory lane is designed to encourage you and remind you of some foundational truths as you are on your journey.  Today's episode was originally aired on July 1, 2024. On today's podcast episode you will hear from Rev. Aaron Carr discuss: Why Men Don't Cry.   Men are taught at a young age not to show emotions.   A man is supposed to be tough and strong, which is good. However, it is not good when you disconnect from your feelings. Teaching your children how NOT to feel will have adults walking around dismissing their authenticity.    We will talk about how men hold their emotions and the different ways they come out with their behavior.  For example laughing, silent treatment, going to the gym, and the need to hit an object. There were angry men in the bible but when they worshiped God, the heavy load of life became lighter.  When men started using the God-given tools of praise, the place of contentment was attainable.   Being a man of color is challenging. What are some ways to handle life better? It is in the Word of God. You should also talk to someone. The expectations of black men are high yet the need is high. As Pastor Carr shared in this podcast the need is high for the workplace also.    Enjoy the podcast and share it with all your friends, family, and groups.    Disclaimer: This podcast aims to encourage and inspire, with guest views expressed as their own.  ~ Dr. Cheryl ** To purchase a copy of Dr. Cheryl's Book, Therapy Is Not the Ememy – The Christian Novel, and other self-care resources, including Rebuilding a New You – A Self Care Journal, go to www.drcherylhardy.net/shop or on Amazon.
