My hope is that each person takes with them practical biblical instruction on how to deal with anger. This seminar should also teach them how do to deal with other people that express anger in different ways. I also want them to recognize their own personal way they handle anger and learn to positively respond to it. Over history, a lot of good things happened because people got angry about wrongdoing and wanted to do something about it. For example, injustice – Jesus was angry at the activity of the money changers in the temple. Then comes the guilt and the shame – other emotions that stem from having angry feelings, which is why this seminar is called “Overcoming Emotions That Destroy.”īGEA: What do you hope the seminar attendees will take with them after your seminar?Ĭhip Ingram: I hope they leave with a very clear picture that anger is God-given neutral emotion that can be used for very positive things. Most people don’t take a hammer to the dashboard to get rid of the light! They find out what is wrong with their car.Īnger can be likened to the red light – it often tells us there is a problem, an unmet need, or that who God made us to be is attacked. For example, let’s say you’re driving, and you see a red maintenance light that indicates there is a problem under the hood. You’ll learn Anger is a secondary emotion. So, this topic was birthed out of that experience.īGEA: Will you address any other emotions at this seminar?Ĭhip Ingram: Definitely. Everybody has these feelings, and often don’t know what to do with them. We realized we had hit a nerve, that people really struggle with angry feelings. We played this series on the radio for the first time and got a big reaction to it. Relationships are destroyed by anger when people don’t know they are angry.
Some people react to is by screaming, some react with a passive-aggressive attitude and some simply ignore it.ģ. So, I created a three-part series on helping people understand several things about anger:Ģ. Having a background in psychology, I realized anger is really big. I came to the passage about anger – being slow to speak, slow to anger and quick to listen. I did a series on the first 16 or 17 verses on overcoming a broken world. Once, I was teaching through the book of James.
I will often study a whole book, breaking down chapters into topics. I love to teach through books of the Bible.
BGEA: What events in your life led you to study and speak on this topic?Ĭhip Ingram: Well, it’s interesting, really.
