Adopted kids often enter adolescence with deep questions about identity, belonging and why they were given up — even if they cannot consciously remember the trauma. As they shift from concrete to abstract thinking in their teen years, feelings of loss, abandonment and being “different” can surface more strongly. Parents can help by listening without judgment, talking openly about feelings, staying connected and offering long-term patience — knowing these issues often take years to resolve. Adoption is a beautiful gift, but parents must understand that their child sees the world through a unique lens, and that compassion and presence are critical.

In the stillness of the night, we hear things . . . the faucet dripping, a dog barking in the distance, a car going down the road. We also think about things. It’s often when worry moves into our minds and sets up shop for the night. What if . . . how come . . . if only . . . why didn’t I...? How can we get worry to pack it up and be on its way? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us put our worries to bed, so we can get back to sleep.

Your anger, instead of becoming your worst nightmare, can be your best friend. In fact, God wants to turn your anger into a tool that will serve you and help you like never before. Join Chip as he unpacks this powerful tool from God’s Word.

Introduction: Anger is a secondary emotion

• It is easier to be angry than to face the deeper, more sensitive issues of anger.
• Anger is not the problem. Anger is the red warning light on the dashboard – something under the hood is amiss.
• We cover stuff inside that God wants to heal, forgive, and restore.

Three root issues behind anger:

1. HURT = Real or perceived unmet needs

• Tool: “I feel….” Messages – Attack the issue not the person

2. FRUSTRATION = Real or perceived unmet expectations

• Tool: “I desire…” vs. “I demand….” Statements

3. INSECURITY = Real or perceived attacks on my worth

• Tool: Ask yourself, “Why am I feeling threatened?”

Summary: The first step in overcoming the destructive power of anger is the COURAGE to look below the surface.

• Anger is the light on the dashboard; something’s wrong under the hood.
• Anger is our way of protecting ourselves from painful, hard-to-deal-with hurts, frustrations, and insecurities.
• Anger has many faces and despite its power for good, it destroys, unless we learn to…-Acknowledge it-Back-track to the 1st emotion-Consider the real cause-Determine to rightly respond
