#045// Emotions make crappy leaders. Probably one of the most common discussions inside the Christian community has to do with this question: Are emotions good, or are they bad? So, what do you think?

God created us with the ability to feel emotions. This means the ability to emote is good because everything God creates is good. Are you with me so far? But did you know that there really are emotions that are considered "good" and some that are considered "bad?" It's true, and we're going to get into what the Bible has to say about good and bad emotions in this episode.

But probably the strongest sound I want to make in today's episode is this: Emotions are terrible leaders. Seriously. Emotions were never intended to be your guide. They were designed to follow your thoughts and your faith, but you've got to intentionally tell them to do that. This means *stewarding* your emotions.

To be a good steward of your life you're going to have to make a decision to come off of the auto-pilot that keeps you tethered to how you feel all the time, friend. You're going to have to stop letting the loudest emotion "in the room" call the shots. And you're going to have to take back the controls of your life so you can fly intentionally. So, how exactly do you do that? I'm glad you asked! We're talking about all that in this week's episode, so grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
