152: Feelings, Emotions, and Walking with Christ with Jessica Hottle

Jessica Hottle is a wife, author, podcast host of the show, "What's the Truth?", and passionate about helping women to find freedom from the lies that hold them back. Today she comes on the show to talk about her soon-to-release book, "Face off with Your Feelings: Break Up with the Lies of Your Past and Embrace the Truth of Your Future". Our prayer is that you come away from today's conversation encouraged, know that there is truth, hope, and freedom when it comes to handling our emotions.

What We Chat about in Today's Episode:

~Jessica's new upcoming book,  "Face off with Your Feelings: Break Up with the Lies of Your Past and Embrace the Truth of Your Future", what led her to write it, and what readers can expect 

~The two extremes in the church today regarding feelings - the idea that feelings are bad and you should not feel them and the idea that feelings are the be-all, end-all; what the balanced, biblical perspective of feelings is

~The problem with just putting band aids on our feelings rather than processing them with the Lord

~Jesus' example of how to deal with our feelings

~The truth that our feelings are to point us to Christ and His truth; they serve a purpose

~What our feelings reveal about our need for healing
