What does God actually want us to do with our anger once it shows up?
In this episode of the Healthy & Redeemed Podcast, we continue the anger series by turning directly to Scripture. Rather than denying anger or excusing it, this episode explores what God’s Word teaches about managing anger in ways that honor Christ and protect our hearts.
Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, we walksthrough seven biblical principles for handling anger. Each principle is grounded in Scripture and explained with practical clarity, helping listeners understand how anger can quickly open the door to sin—and how God calls us to respond instead.
God invites His people to manage anger wisely, surrender it daily, and pursue heart-level transformation rather than surface-level behavior change.
If you’ve ever struggled with lingering anger, harsh words, resentment, or forgiveness, this episode offers biblical guidance, reflection questions, and encouragement for the slow, faithful work God does in shaping our hearts.
