About this episode
Tim and Eddie discuss the role of emotions in the Christian life from a Reformed perspective, emphasizing their redemption under God's Word.
In this episode of Trinity Chats, Tim and Eddie tackle one of the most powerful forces shaping our daily lives—our emotions. Are they faithful servants or dangerous masters? From the Reformed perspective, emotions aren’t ignored or idolized; they’re redeemed and brought under the authority of God’s Word. The guys discuss how modern culture confuses “feeling” with truth, and how Scripture—along with the historic Reformed confessions—calls believers to something higher. Drawing on the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Belgic Confession, they explore how Christ frees us from the tyranny of sinful passions, reorders our loves, and renews our affections through the Spirit. Join us for another conversation that Reforms our minds and hearts in Christ Jesus!
