In this kickoff episode of The Healthy Christian Podcast Season 7, we dive deep into emotional health, starting with the God-given emotion of affection. What does it mean to show love in a way that others can truly feel? And how can we express affection even if it doesn't come naturally to us?

We explore biblical truths about affection from Romans 12:10 and other scriptures, discuss different ways people give and receive love, and unpack how men and women often express affection differently. Through practical stories and questions, you'll learn how to build meaningful, Christ-centered relationships with intentional emotional connection.

Main takeaway:
Your feelings are God-given, but they aren’t always facts. Emotional health means learning to express love and affection intentionally, even when it doesn't come naturally.

Challenge this week: Talk to someone close to you about how you both give and receive affection—and take one intentional step to show love in a way that matters to them.
