Feels

WELCOME to our brand-new Feast Talk series for May 2024, titled

FEEL: Why Your Emotions Matter.

When it comes to our feelings, we have two big problems: We have trouble labeling them, andwe have trouble leading them. Labeling means identifying them. Naming them. Discerning them.  For a lot of people, their feelings remain one giant, convoluted, chaotic blur. Sadly, when you cannot label your feelings, you cannot lead them well.

The goal of our 5-part teaching series?  To learn how to lead your emotions better, so that you can love God, love others, and love yourself more.

Talk 1 is titled Shame.
Shame is the intensely painful feeling of believing you are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging.

Shame signals that your identity is being threatened. Every emotion carries a special gift. And what is the gift of shame? To tell you that something is threatening your identity and needs your attention.

The key message of Talk 1 is You are already loved.

WE are now in Talk 5 of our Feast Talk series for May 2024, titled FEEL: Why Your Emotions Matter.

The goal of our 5-part teaching series is: To learn how to lead your emotions better so that you can love God, love others, and love yourself more.

We already tackled four talks: Talk 1 about Shame; Talk 2 Fear; Talk 3: Anger, and Talk 4: Sadness.

The topic of Talk 5 is Jealousy.

Jealousy is not just that nervous feeling when we see our romantic partner get attracted to someone else. It’s broader than that. Jealousy is that uncomfortable feeling of seeing someone have something you want but don’t have.

It may be a bad feeling. But like the other emotions we have studied, Jealousy brings us special gifts.

The key message of Talk 5 is Entrust your desires to God.

WELCOME to the conclusion of our transformational series, FEEL.

We already tackled the five talks: Talk 1 about Shame; Talk 2 Fear; Talk 3: Anger; Talk 4: Sadness; and Talk 5 is Jealousy.

We add the conclusion: Talk 6: Happiness

What is happiness?

Here’s a simple definition. Happiness is a feeling of goodness. We experience through the many simple joys of life.

But there is also a happiness that is so much deeper called overflowing joy.

The key message of Talk 6 is Taste and see that the LORD is good. (Psalms 34:8 NLT)
