For most of my life, I’ve felt like I need to achieve to be valuable.I haven’t really felt like I could ever rest. I was either “growing or dying.”The last few weeks have shown me that this isn’t really what God intends or wants for me… or for you.Instead, we can find rest in knowing we are Sons Of The King. That we are loved, accepted and forgiven through Christ. We can stop trying to fight the battles that have already been won.And, in that peace, we can follow Christ one step at a time as He works in us to become what He has in store for us.Watch on YouTube here. Also, the book mentioned in the episode is Follow The Cloud by John Stickl, which you can get here.Dr. MikeP.S.

I used to be afraid of emotions. And really, I still am a little.From what I saw, when people got overly angry, they broke things or hurt people.If they got overly sad, they got depressed or even suicidal.If they got anxious, they froze and didn’t accomplish anything.I certainly didn’t want to do this, and so I took the approach of trying to “turn down the volume” on my emotions.Unfortunately, this has kept me from really experiencing emotion myself, connecting with others, and has resulted in my having a short fuse at times and not much empathy for others.While I still worry about emotions getting “too big,” what I learned and will share with you makes me a lot less scared of that.Luckily, I recently learned that you can FEEL an intense emotion…Without doing something that causes problems for you or others.Learn how in today’s episode.
