Biblical Emotions
Ask a Question!
(We will address as many as possible in our Saturday night interview of our speaker.)
Date: April 17-19, 2026
Title: Biblical Emotions
Theme: Emotions are often dismissed as the caboose of the Christian life. Distracting at best, dangerous at worst, we distrust and dismiss our emotions as nothing more than froth and feelings. Try as we may, however, we cannot get away from them. Our feelings factor large in how we engage each day and each other. This is by design. God made us to feel, and to feel deeply. Yet the One who made our emotions also tells us their place. Amid the winds and waves of turbulent feelings, the Scriptures are our anchor and instructor, teaching us not only what to think and do, but how to feel.
