ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOUR EMOTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
The Word of God tells us in John 14:27; “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” This clearly emphasizes that we must consciously decide not to let our hearts control our emotions.

Practically it can be accomplished by gaining a deeper understanding of relational topics such as: Steps to Improving Communication, Defining Forgiveness – What it is and What it is Not, Establishing Healthy Boundaries, Learning to Listen Well, How to Apologize, Contemplating - What it Really Means to Love Like Christ, Where Anger Comes from and How to Send it Back, God’s Ideas for Dealing with Bullies, Codependency or Christ Dependency, and more.
