Wait a minute — that’s not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and The Better Way host Libby Glosson steps in as guest host to help us think about emotions and the role they play in the life of a Christian.
Segment 1
• Culture pushes emotional extremes: either vent everything or suppress everything.
• How should Christians think about emotions and emotional struggles?
• Are we discipling our emotions biblically, or letting culture shape them?
Segment 2
• Bible doesn’t say “suck it up” – instead, submit emotions to God’s Word.
• Sin can be internal—fear, anger, despair can dishonor God before action.
• Goal: sanctified emotions—Spirit-enabled responses that glorify God.
Segment 3
• Danger of the opposite ditch: emotional indulgence and exhibitionism.
• Culture says “follow your heart”—leads to gossip, ranting, victimhood.
• True modesty: fade to the background, count others more significant.
Segment 4
• Emotional exhibitionism = emotional immodesty; both dishonor God.
• Public venting and oversharing dishonor family and relationships.
• Sanctification includes emotions: Christ is reshaping minds, wills, and hearts.
