Episode 70: Your Emotions Aren't Your Enemy with Jennie Allen


Listen Later

God is giving you and me permission to feel our feelings. But are we giving permission to ourselves?


I’m on a quest to engage my emotions with health and wholeheartedness, and Jennie Allen joined me on a leg of the journey. Jennie is a friend of mine who happens to have written the book on understanding and expressing our feelings as God intended us to.


My conversation with Jennie is as heartfelt as it is practically applicable to your life. Her generous wisdom will leave you equipped to understand what you’re feeling, put those emotions in their proper place, and then use those feelings as positive points of connection with God and other people.


If you join me on this episode of the GoodHard Story Podcast, here’s what you’ll take away:

  • Step-by-step instructions for engaging your emotions in healthy ways

  • Reconciling the reality of your fallen-ness with the validity of your feelings

  • Encouragement to stop fixing and start feeling for your hurting friends

  • A prayer from Jennie FOR you

  • If your emotions leave you feeling like too much or too little—or, somehow, BOTH—this episode is for you. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at hopeheals.com/podcast.
