The Problem With Perfect

Do You Use Distraction to Not Feel Your Feelings?


Listen Later

Jesus told us that there would be no escaping the hardships of living here on this broken earth with broken people. Yet the pain, disappointment, and fear of day-to-day life can sometimes be more than we can handle. Instead of dealing with our emotions, we distract ourselves, numb ourselves and avoid them for as long as possible.

How about you? Do you find yourselves doing anything and everything but dealing with your painful emotions? If so, you'll want to give this episode a listen and consider how to set the distractions aside and make room to process the emotions that may be keeping you from moving forward.
