192: Women, You’re Not Too Emotional (You Might Not Be Emotional Enough) | with Becky Brown
Women in small churches often feel like we have to hold it all in or keep it together for everyone else. But shutting down emotions doesn’t make us stronger — it cuts us off from one of the main ways God shapes us.
In this episode, Becky Brown and I bust the myth that emotions are a weakness and show why they might be your greatest strength.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why “managing” your emotions can backfire — and what to do instead
- The surprising connection between emotional growth and spiritual maturity
- How women in small churches often feel pressure to “hold it together” — and why it’s healthy to fall apart sometimes
- The truth about emotions as signals, not distractions or obstacles
- Why your “too much” might actually be exactly what your church needs
