What makes you mad? How do you handle your angry feelings? Is it sometimes OK to get angry? What does God say about anger? In this episode, I examine reasons we get angry, I discuss "righteous" vs. "unrighteous" anger, and I share some practical strategies to help you better manage your angry feelings.

Some of the Scriptural references included in this episode:

“People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.”
(Proverbs 14:29, NLT)

“Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.”
(James 1:20, NLT)

“But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.”
(Jesus - Matthew 5:22, NLT)

“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.”

“But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.’”
