Our culture often distrusts emotions—we tend to look down on people who are “emotional” or who base decisions on how they feel. Being guided by logic is touted as the more responsible and realistic way to move through life.
But, as we seek to grow closer to God and move forward in our purpose, what if our emotions are just as important as our minds?
I recently had the honor of chatting with my dear friend Aimée Walker for The Devoted Podcast, and we talked all about emotions, how they pertain to our relationship with God, and how being honest about my emotions played a key role in me realizing that God was calling me to write.
We also talked about
Understanding our emotions as a gift
Trusting God with our feelings
Submitting our feelings to God’s truth
You can listen to the whole conversation here.
After you listen, I’d love to hear your thoughts and/or your own experiences with your emotions and your relationship with God or moving forward in your purpose!

...Is it time to say goodbye to something in your life? Leaving can be hard because it can feel like losing—and sometimes it does come with a loss.
But so often what we let go of is vastly outweighed by what we gain when we open our hands in trust...
