Loving Jesus & Yet Losing Your Cool - Chapter 2

May 3, 2026    Pastor Abe Brown

You can follow Jesus… and still feel overwhelmed, triggered, or reactive.

So what do we do with that?


In this message, we unpack a powerful truth:

👉 Following Jesus doesn’t remove your emotions—it transforms your relationship with them.


🔥 In This Message, You’ll Learn:

Why your emotions don’t come out of nowhere

(Beliefs, Biology, Personality, and Context)

How your interpretation drives your emotional response


The difference between:

Rumination (being emotionally controlled)

Suppression (trying to control emotions)

Regulation (Spirit-led response)

Why Scripture says: “In your anger do not sin… do not give the devil a foothold.”

 

🧠 Faith + Neuroscience

We break down how emotional regulation works in the brain:

Prefrontal Cortex (wisdom, control)

Amygdala (raw emotion, reaction)


👉 Emotional regulation is learning to pause and respond instead of react.
