The Righteous Anger of Man (Part 3)

Episode #8: The Righteous Anger of Man (Part 3) Humans were not designed to carry the amount of information foisted upon us in the 21st century, particularly all of the horror and evil perpetrated daily around the world. Multiple times a day we are exposed to tragedy, betrayal, and unexpected (bad) news that makes us angry, sparking a physiological response in our bodies that must be dealt with. Come along with Chicka and Jay as they explore what to do with this anger, and how to avoid “stuffing it down inside,” leading to unwanted sin and anger in our lives and relationships.
