Resentment - with Dr. Jones

About this episode

The episode explores the distinction between anger and resentment, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness through Christ.

Is the anger you’re carrying really bitterness in disguise, quietly robbing you of the freedom Christ purchased for you? Janet Aucoin welcomes back Dr. Robert Jones, professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, to examine the line between anger and resentment and walk through six gospel truths that bring genuine freedom. They explore how clinging to bitterness means assuming the role of judge, a role that belongs to God alone. Rooted in Matthew 18 and James 4, this conversation calls listeners to fix their eyes on the Cross, where Christ’s forgiveness is the only firm foundation for a forgiving heart. ⁠ Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Anger - Joyful Journey Forgiveness Series - Milton Vincent Books/Booklet Freedom from Resentment - Robert Jones How to Overcome Evil - Jay Adams Websites Biblical Counseling Training Conference Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.
