In the midst of so much tragedy and so much to lament after recent times of white supremacy raging through racial terrorism and gun massacres, Latasha Morrison spoke with trauma therapist Dr. Anita Phillips for a timely and needed word. Dr. Anita shares about the importance of singing together, of physical touch, and of living sacrificially as a follower of Jesus. She dives deep into God’s design of emotions and the connection between our hearts and brains. This episode is filled with Dr. Anita’s pastoral voice as she invites us into a better understanding of how God created us to feel and to live.Quotes:“With everything that we have going on from some of the police violence with Black and Brown brothers and sisters, from Buffalo, to Texas, it's just all really too much to bear. I cannot understand how to do this apart from Christ.”  -Latasha Morrison“Our mental health, our relational health, our spiritual health is being undermined by how uncomfortable we are and how inarticulate we are and inadequate we are with emotion.” -Dr. Anita Phillips“When I'm watching Jesus, I see Jesus expressing emotion freely and often with words and with his body.” -Dr. Anita PhillipsLinks:Connect with Dr. Anita Phillips:Her WebsiteInstagramYouTubeFacebookTwitterConnect with Be the Bridge:Our WebsiteFacebookInstagramConnect with Latasha Morrison:FacebookInstagramHost & Executive Producer - Latasha MorrisonSenior Producer - Lauren C.
