“How anger is a gift and a gateway to positive change”
We’ve been taught that the Christian response to anger is to minimize it, but it’s actually *not* Biblical to deny our feelings of anger.

This is the second sermon in our “This Feeling's Got Me Like...” series.

Instead, it's about living with intentionality and purpose, and embracing the process and not just the destination.
This is the fifth sermon in our “BE” series.
