Can you remember the last argument you had with someone, whether at home or at work? Think about the words you used. Were they verbal missiles or were they words to build up? Today Gene addresses our tendency to ‘blow up’ when we’re angry, and why it is so destructive to our relationships. Becoming loud and verbally or physically abusive is against God’s plan for our lives. His challenge today is to examine ourselves and how we respond when we’re angry.

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
