In this episode of the By His Grace podcast, I chat with my friend, Joël Malm about overcoming anger from a Biblical perspective. Joël is the author of the recently published book, “Love Slows Down: How to Keep Anger and Anxiety from Ruining Life’s Relationships. He is also the host of the Malm Podcast, a show in which he and his father discuss life lessons from his father. Joël shows us how to conquer worry, fear, anger, and anxiety by slowing down and responding in love.

On the show, Joël  teaches us that anger can come from a threat to one of three different things: 

1. Security
2. Connection with others
3. Control of life’s circumstances

He gives three tips for handling anger:

1. Let it go
2. Find time for solitude
3. Walk in community with others

Key Takeaways 

• “Anger isn’t a sin. It’s a sign pointing you to an area of life that you haven’t yet surrendered to the Lord.” 
• “We were made from love, made for love, and called to return to His love. Because of Jesus, we have direct access to that.” 
• “Gratitude is the foundation for mental health.” 
• “If Jesus had to go away to pray and be with the Father, how much more do we need to do the same?”

On this podcast, I sit down with Suzanne Eller. Suzie is the author of several books, including the newly released book, “Joykeeper: 6 Truths that Change Everything You Thought You Knew About Joy,”  she is a speaker, co-host of the “More Than Small Talk” podcast, wife, mom, and grandma. Suzie and I discussed the things that can steal our joy and the importance of holding tightly to the joy that we find in Jesus.

Suzie shows us the importance of being honest and open with God about our feelings and reminds us of the love that God has for us. 

Key Takeaways 

• “When you’re honest with God, you’re not only giving yourself permission to feel. You’re giving yourself permission to heal. “ 
• “God not only cares about how we feel, but He also created us to feel.” 
• “Stop making yourself lovable to a God who already loves you like crazy.” 
• “God loves you. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you. And, that is the end of the story.” 
• “The more that we know Jesus, the more that we’re known by Him.”

The struggle to find quality entertainment that is family-friendly is real. With children being on screens today now more than ever, how can we protect what they see and hear? This week on the By His Grace podcast, I sit down with Neal Harmon Co-Founder of VidAngel to discuss how they are providing entertainment good for your home. With the VidAngel filter, you have the power to skip the unacceptable parts in movies and TV. VidAngel provides a way to skip or mute things you don’t want to see or hear in movies and TV shows.

We discuss two of their most popular original offerings: Dry Bar and The Chosen. Dry Bar Comedy is the only comedy club specializing in clean but not boring content that has over 2 billion views. The Chosen is offered globally, in dozens of languages, has tens of millions of views, and millions of dollars in revenue via its own app. It has been the #1 series on VidAngel for months.
