63. Feeling Too Emotional? The Truth About Emotions, Shame, & Faith with David Pendergrass

Are your emotions making you feel like a bad Christian mom? What if your emotions aren't sinful—and what if they're actually giving you important information? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. David Pendergrass, Biblicist, author, speaker, former senior pastor, and pastoral counselor with nearly 30 years of ministry experience. We talk about anger, anxiety, overwhelm, emotional reactions, shame, conviction, and what emotional maturity actually looks like for a Christian. David shares practical ways to recognize and process our emotions without letting them control our responses—and explains why we need to stop shaming ourselves for having feelings. This conversation is honest, practical, encouraging, and full of those “wait...I've never thought about it that way!” moments.
