Have you ever felt your blood boil as a child's tantrum spirals out of control or been witness to the unchecked anger that permeates everyday life, from long lines at the DMV to hostile customer service encounters? In today's episode, we examine the roots of anger and how unchecked rage can damage our relationships. Join us as we discuss the valuable lessons we can learn from our tantrum-throwing toddlers, pray for transformation from within, and explore ways to manage our emotions in trying moments.

With reference to Proverbs and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, we dive into the Biblical perspective on righteous and unrighteous anger, and underscore the importance of being slow to anger. We also explore the concept of the "anger iceberg" and how understanding the root cause of our anger can help us react more positively in difficult situations, and prevent these negative emotions from taking over our lives.

We wrap up the episode with an inspiring story from the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, highlighting the incredible power of forgiveness and reconciliation. The nonprofit organization AMI played a crucial role in fostering healing between the Hutus and Tutsis, resulting in touching moments of forgiveness and grace. Drawing parallels to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we reflect on the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in our own lives, and offer a prayer for peace and healing. Join us on this journey and embrace the grace of growth and transformation.
