We live in a time when anger feels justified — even necessary. But when does anger become wrath?

In this episode, Rev. Eric Elnes, Rabbi Brian Mayer, and Zen teacher Esther Freinkel-Tishman explore the difference between anger that awakens conscience and anger that hardens into self-righteousness.

Drawing from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and Islamic wisdom, they discuss:

– Why wrath narrows our vision

– The spiritual danger of righteous indignation

– The practice of staying with the “hot potato” of anger

– How small frustrations train us for larger conflicts

– And why faith means trusting that transformation is possible

“Anger can only be measured by love.”

This is not a call to suppress anger — but to transform it.
