Even when we try our hardest, many of us struggle to manage this powerful emotion. Could it be that anger is not truly our problem, but a symptom of a deeper issue? In this episode of I Got Issues we will unpack the true genesis of anger and examine four practical steps to keep it from ruling our life.

Keeping our struggles, fears, and wounds to ourselves forces us to carry the weight and burden of those things all by ourselves.  However, when we are fully known by others, we can receive support and encouragement. But for this to happen, we must first be vulnerable and authentic, willing to air out our secrets to trusted individuals in our  lives.  What secret do you need to get off your chest?
