Send us a text Emotional Circle is a conceptual framework that outlines the process of understanding and addressing deep emotional needs. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and acknowledging core longings, such as love, significance, and security, which are often buried beneath surface-level emotions. The Emotional Circle encourages individuals to explore these underlying desires and seek fulfillment in a relationship with God, rather than through external circumstances or relationships. This approach fosters spiritual growth and emotional healing by aligning one's heart with God's truth and love. Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1. CASH APP2.
