Sacred or Sinful: What to Do With These Battling Emotions?

In the Anabaptist world, we usually understand that we must be willing to choose right actions even when we don’t feel like it, and that sinful attitudes require repentance. In this session, we’ll look at how applying those principles too broadly may create emotional repression with side effects like shame, joylessness, and/or lack of empathy. We’ll also look at why and how to develop emotional awareness, and you’ll leave with a couple of tools that may help.

Sacred or Sinful: What to Do With These Battling Emotions? was presented by Byron Miller at REACH 2022, on March 24-25, 2022, at Calvary Church, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
