Have you ever heard the phrase "don't let your emotions get the best of you"? While it may feel more comfortable to try and stuff our feelings away and push through, what would it look like to actually feel our emotions and find healing?

We could all probably agree that it's easier said than done! Feeling your feelings can be extremely uncomfortable.

But feelings aren't something to fix. God designed us with emotions and as we discover how to name and navigate those emotions, we’ll learn how they can draw us closer to God.

In this episode, Jordan talks with bestselling author and national speaker Jennie Allen about how to untangle your emotions and draw nearer to God in the process.

Tune in to learn:

• What “revved-up reactions” are and what we can do to regulate our emotions
• Why grief isn't linear and why we can't put it in a formula
• What the Bible says about denying our emotions and what God says to us about our emotions
• The importance of feeling our feelings instead of fixing them
