Show Notes
God gave us emotions but He doesn’t want our emotions to drive the train of our lives. If God’s will for your life is driving the train, your emotions and thoughts will follow. But if your emotions are driving the train, what happens?
In this episode, Candace and Jennie talk about what it looks like to submit your will to Jesus with your day-to-day emotions, taking hold of your emotions, halting your thoughts from spiraling, and the power of speaking your emotions out loud to a trusted community.
Emotions are a gift from God but what you choose to do with them is up to you. Will you allow your emotions to drive your train? Listen to this conversation to hear why submitting your emotions you God’s will is the better choice.

Listener Question:
Stephanie: How do you deal with someone who you aren’t compatible with but can’t avoid them because you live with them and it seems like the only option right now? What’s a healthy way you would set boundaries without feeling like the bad guy?
Know what is on your side of the road and their side of the road. What can you control within your environment and emotions? You cannot control how healthy another person is, but you can control how healthy you are.

Candace + Jennie are wrapping up Season 6 with a special episode all about YOU - our listeners! They are answering several listener questions about emotions, connecting with those in a different generation than you, navigating burnout and finding JOY again, and more.
Every day you are faced with a choice. As you experience different emotions, what will you do with them? How will you respond to them? You name them, but now what?
There is a connection between your emotional health and your body. Just think about what you feel physically when you experience different emotions:
What is your favorite memory from your childhood? What makes those memories good memories?
Two words can push emotions to a deeper place … “I feel.” Do you have community that you can safely share your emotions with? That you can vulnerably say … “I feel” without fear or shame?
