This week on Unpacked, Pastor Evan discusses processing our stories. Evan shares a bit about how reflecting on our life and stories allows us to process and to process is to heal. Using the book “Why Emotions Matter” by Tristen and Jonathan Collins (linked below) we unpack experiencing having conflicting feelings at the same time or as the book calls it - ambivalence. How when we experience life both are a healthy and normal way of processing feelings. Evan talks about some of the pitfalls and freedom that come from processing our stories with the help community and God we move toward healing.

This week on Unpacked, Pastor Evan discusses controlling our thoughts. Evan share a bit about how we have control over the kind of thought environment we create in our minds. And how the beliefs you choose to follow and challenge have a significant impact on your feelings. Using the book “Why Emotions Matter” by Tristen and Jonathan Collins (linked below) we unpack the four ways they discuss how we can influence our thought life to improve mental health. We jump into how discovering hidden beliefs, your inner critic and understanding our motives (the enneagram is a tool to help with this one) allows us to discover our blind spots. With the help community and God we move toward healing.
