So many of us—and those around us—struggle with the role of emotions. We question,

  • “Are our feelings to be a guide to lead us into the best path?”
  • “Are we to give our feelings free reign over us? How do we handle them?”
  • “If we don’t follow our emotions, are we being hypocrites?”
  • “Some of us think emotions are the enemy and awful; some say they are everything.”

We hear things like, “If it feels good, do it!” and “Follow your heart (thinking, follow how you feel)!” Is that good counsel? How does the Bible direct us to think about emotions?

This two-part course will introduce God’s views of emotions. In part 1, we see that God has revealed Himself through the Bible so we can view our emotions from His perspective. In part 2, we see we’re not left on our own to figure out how we can be freed from the tyranny of our emotions. God shows us how to understand and deal with them His way. Many additional, suggested resources and footnotes are included.
