When you explode at the driver who cuts you off or sulk when your boss ignores your input, you think anger is the problem. What if your anger is actually protecting you from something more uncomfortable?

Most men cycle between hostile outbursts and withdrawn pouting without understanding what's beneath the surface. You feel the rage, either unleash it or stuff it down, then wonder why relationships suffer. The biblical command seems impossible—be angry and do not sin—until you grasp what anger actually covers.

Like an iceberg, what shows above water isn't the real story. Your frustration with disrespect, fury at injustice, irritation at small slights—these visible reactions often mask deeper vulnerability you've been trained never to acknowledge.

This episode is a discussion on how to interrogate your anger rather than being controlled by it, transforming destructive force into strategic clarity. Discover why processed emotions beat unprocessed ones, and how wisdom changes what you do with the fire inside.
