The Inner Room- Emotions in the Bible

This podcast looks at the relationship of our spiritual and psychological worlds. They are deeply intertwined in the inner room of our heart. Jesus welcomed His emotions: He cried when His friend died, He was angry at the hypocrisy of people, frustrated at His disciples' slow learning, exhausted after a long day of work. The Bible offers a divine perspective for the development of the human heart in which God's laws are written. Finding lessons in the Bible to help us pray better and listen to God's will for our lives, we seek to fuel our love for God with the fire of our emotions.
