Would you like to be able to tame your temper, but you find yourself in a cycle of destructive reactions and explosive responses, and you just don’t know how to stop? Join Chip as he explains some biblical tools that will help you get a grip on anger before it gets a grip on you.

Introduction: Anger is a secondary emotion

It is easier to be angry than to face the deeper, more sensitive issues of anger.
Anger is not the problem. Anger is the red warning light on the dashboard – something under the hood is amiss.
We cover stuff inside that God wants to heal, forgive, and restore.

Three root issues behind anger:

1. HURT = Real or perceived unmet needs

Tool: “I feel….” Messages – Attack the issue not the person

2. FRUSTRATION = Real or perceived unmet expectations

Tool: “I desire…” vs. “I demand….” Statements

3. INSECURITY = Real or perceived attacks on my worth

Tool: Ask yourself, “Why am I feeling threatened?”

Summary: The first step in overcoming the destructive power of anger is the COURAGE to look below the surface.

Anger is the light on the dashboard; something’s wrong under the hood.
Anger is our way of protecting ourselves from painful, hard-to-deal-with hurts, frustrations, and insecurities.
Anger has many faces and despite its power for good, it destroys, unless we learn to…-Acknowledge it-Back-track to the 1st emotion-Consider the real cause-Determine to rightly respond
