42 - Reclaiming Emotion as a Gift from God Part 1

Women are more emotional, right? More likely to break into hysterics and be completely irrational? Uhh, not so much. In today's episode we'll chat about how men and women are both gifted with emotions, yet how the hysterical women still haunts underlying beliefs and perceptions of women in today's society, including the church. We'll also talk microaggressions and how they look in society and church today. And let's not forget about all the emotions Jesus, the perfect human man, experienced while He walked the earth. We'll end with some practical applications and ways to support our sisters in Christ. Plus there might be an Office joke buried in there somewhere. 

Anyways, this is a big topic. One we'll need a few episodes to cover. So here's part one.
