Episode 7: Emotions & Purpose: When Feelings Lead You Closer to God

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Dr. Tiara Cloud unpacks the powerful role of emotions in our spiritual walk and God-given purpose. Too often, we’re told to suppress our feelings in order to demonstrate strength or faith—but what if our emotions were designed by God to move us, shape us, and guide us back to Him? Dr. Tiara explores what the Bible teaches about emotions—from Jesus weeping over Lazarus, to David’s repentance in Psalm 51—and reveals how our emotional responses, when filtered through the Word, can serve as holy indicators of what God wants to heal, reveal, or restore in our hearts. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or simply seeking clarity in your purpose, this episode offers biblical insight, practical encouragement, and a journal prompt resource to help you pause and process through the lens of faith. 🙏 Plus: Join in a prayer for those impacted by Hurricane Beryl and access a free reflection tool and prayer prompt at CrownedAndChosenCo.com.
