Rhythms for Life

In the final episode of the Emotional Health series with Dr. Chip Dodd, we’re talking about the final of the eight feelings, gladness. Gladness is not about being happy or getting what we want. Gladness is about having a deep desire and being willing to walk through pain in pursuit of this desire. Gladness comes because of our willingness to feel the other feelings: hurt, lonely, sad, anger, fear, shame, and guilt. In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah reflect on the feeling of gladness and where they’ve seen this in their lives. Pre-order Rebekah’s new book, Building a Resilient Life: How Adversity Awakens Strength, Hope, and Meaning.Purchase The Voice of the Heart: A Call to Full Living by Chip Dodd.

The Emotional Health Series continues this week with the feeling of guilt. Guilt is the emotional and spiritual gift that allows us to feel and accept that we’ve done something wrong. Guilt tells us that we have broken boundaries and we’ve done something wrong. Dr. Chip Dodd joins us to help us understand what guilt is and how we can be set free through this feeling. Following the interview with Dr. Chip Dodd, Lysa TerKerust, author of Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, shares how boundaries are good and necessary in relationships. Buy Good Boundaries and Goodbyes by Lysa TerKeurst HERE. Purchase The Voice of the Heart: A Call to Full Living by Chip Dodd.

Shame is the emotional and spiritual recognition of the potential to faith and to do harm and to love. In today’s episode, Dr. Chip Dodd helps us understand how the feeling of shame can lead to conviction. We’ll also hear from Nona Jones, author of Killing Comparison: Reject the Lie You Aren't Good Enough and Live Confident in Who God Made You to Be on how shame can make us addicted to others approval rather than open to the experience of our lives lived fully with God and others.Purchase Nona Jone’s book, Killing Comparison: Reject the Lie You Aren’t Good Enough and Live Confident in Who God Made You to Be.Purchase The Voice of the Heart: A Call to Full Living by Chip Dodd.Learn more about Dr.Chip Dodd.Download the "Emotional Health Guide" and access the weekly teaching on video from Dr.Chip Dodd. Register now for the Emotional Health Retreat, Nov 17 & 18 in Franklin, TN!This season of Rhythms for Life is sponsored by the Christian Standard Bible.

We tackle fear in this episode of our Emotional Health Series with Dr. Chip Dodd. Fear is the feeling that allows us to experience risk, trust, dependency, collaboration, and wisdom; it helps us realize our need for help. For many of us, fear equals weakness and makes us doubt and distrust one another. In our fear of feeling fear, we become fretful and overly controlling in any risk we take. Following the interview with Dr. Chip Dodd, Gabe and Rebekah speak with Toni Collier, author of Brave Enough to be broken, to hear how she’s overcome fear in her life and how she learned to embrace the pain of her past and how she moved to hope and healing. Purchase The Voice of the Heart: A Call to Full Living by Chip Dodd.

Our Emotional health session continues focusing on the feeling of sadness. Sadness is the feeling that speaks to how much you value what is missed, what is gone, and what is lost.

Then, Melissa Zaldivar, author of What Cannot be Lost, joins us to discuss sadness and grief.
