S8 E3 | Better Reactions Lead to Better Relationships


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why you have different reactions with different people in your life? Maybe it's easy to respond to a friend with love and patience but difficult to respond to your spouse without getting angry.

The truth is our character is revealed in how we react. Lysa TerKeurst puts it this way: "Our feelings are indicators, not dictators."

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What the four kinds of reaction types are and which one you are.
  • How to work toward balance with your mind (thoughts), body and soul (feelings).
