A Steadfast Heart: How to Handle Emotions

About this episode

Leslie discusses the importance of governing emotions by the Spirit of God rather than being led by feelings.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with an important look at what role emotions should play in our lives. Many of us are led by emotion in our every daily actions and decisions, in our thought life, in relationships, and even in our life direction. As Leslie shares in this episode, emotions in themselves are not wrong, but they must be governed by the Spirit of God. In this message, Leslie unpacks principles for being led by Truth, rather than merely following our feelings. For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.
