74. Can Humans Have “Righteous Anger”? | Anger Series

Send us your thoughts through Fan MailWhat do we really mean when we talk about righteous anger? Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'm not just angry — I'm righteously angry"? Or maybe you've justified your frustration by asking, "Wasn't Jesus angry too?" We've all been there. But what if the way Christians talk about righteous anger, justified anger, and righteous indignation is actually keeping us from doing the harder work of examining our own hearts? In this episode of the Healthy & Redeemed Podcast, we look at righteous anger, justified anger, and righteous indignation.   We dig into why comparing our anger to Jesus and God's wrath might be self-deception.   This episode is an invitation to submit your anger to God rather than defend it, to respond with righteousness instead of remaining fueled by emotion, and to trust that God’s patience and wisdom are at work in us.Support the showGet Healey's Books:  Changing Your Feelings - A Workbook for Anxiety and Worry  The Red Ball, A Story of Friendship and ForgivenessThe Companion Activity Book for The Red BallThe Worried Little Goat_______________________________For free Mental Health Resources:  Create an account on my website for unlimited resource access!  Click here to support the show*This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.  I approach scripture through the lens of a Christian licensed counselor, combining biblical insight with clinical understanding of emotional health.  It does not constitute professional advice or is intended to diagnose/treat any disorders and does not constitute a client-therapist relationship.   *Any links to specific resources or content (outside of my own) are not an endorsement of the entire website, author, organization, etc.  Their views may not represent my own.Healthy & Redeemed is a Christian mental health podcast blending Scripture, psychology, and coping skills.
