MAPS Global Podcast

Following up from the initial conversation titled “Help, I’m Angry and I Don’t Know Why”, R.A. Martinez and Mimi talk through Matthew 5 and Matthew 18, discussing how to approach the reparation of a broken relationship, both from the perspective of the offender and the offendee. How do you get to the place that reconciliation can happen with the outcome being mutual love and a path forward? Great Q! Listen to this episode to learn how.

Unresolved anger is like a weed in the garden of our souls… AND it is a liability to our destinies. Listen to R.A. Martinez and new host “Mimi” chat through the dangers of unresolved anger and how to identify it within ourselves. In a worldly culture which condones anger, we must free ourselves from unresolved anger, living not by the world’s standards, but by the countercultural Word of God.
