Dealing with Anger
A Study Series on Understanding, Confronting, and Overcoming Anger π‘πποΈ
Welcome to the Journey π€οΈ
Anger is a powerful emotion β one that can either be managed wisely or become a destructive force in our lives and relationships. While anger itself is not a sin, uncontrolled anger can lead to bitterness, hatred, broken relationships, and spiritual bondage.
This course will help you explore the roots of anger, understand its effects, and discover how God calls you to deal with it in a healthy, biblical way. Whether you struggle with outbursts of rage, silent resentment, or being easily offended, this study invites you to pursue healing, peace, and freedom in Christ.
