Summary
In a conversation on Girls Gone Bible, guest Jenny Allen discusses her book 'Untangle Your Emotions,' exploring how emotional health connects to spiritual growth, the importance of confession and community, and the theology that all emotions—including sadness, fear, and anger—are gifts from God that deepen relationships with Him and others.
Highlights
Your relationship with God is built through tears and raw emotions. All of these emotions that we think are so bad bring us closer to God—that's necessary.
Aloneness is the enemy. Trauma is formed when you are alone and suffering. You can go through something insanely difficult but if you feel connected and have a support system, you will have less trauma than someone going through something smaller alone.
Don't waste the suffering. Don't waste your singleness. The things you learn in the valley and what you experience with God and with other people—you can't replace it.
