Emotions. We've all got them, and they can be...problematic, to say the least. In fact, sometimes it feels like our emotions are driving us more than we're driving them. They're an unconscious reaction to what happens around us and to us, and it can be hard to keep them within their boundaries.
Emotions are an integral part of who you are, and as we continue our discussion on the whole human existence, we can't ignore the soul, the seat of our emotions. In this introductory session to a new series called Double Take, Dr. Mark Lantz goes over the basics of emotions, the emotional climate of our country, and what the Bible says about our emotions and how to use them.

Double Take -- Part 8
September 2, 2020 • Dr. Mark Lantz
We have reached the end of our conversation about our emotions and how they have a tendency to lead us astray. We have discussed various ways in which we can be manipulated and otherwise misled by both our own emotions and the emotions of other people. But what is the final step to truly living in freedom from emotional manipulation? You were created to live in victory and freedom through the death and resurrection of Christ. Join Dr. Mark Lantz as he discusses this final, but ultimately crucial step to living the life you were created to live in part 8 of Double Take.
Double Take -- Part 7
August 26, 2020 • Dr. Mark Lantz
To survive in this life, you need to be able to connect to God and connect to other people. This sounds simple enough, but there are still many people who find themselves emotionally isolated from any sort of human connection. Why is this so, and how can we overcome it? A key point to being in community is also a controversial one: emotional vulnerability. Being vulnerable is scary, and it's often glossed over in our discussions of our emotions. And yet, it is absolutely vital to connecting to other individuals. Join Dr. Mark Lantz as he explores this concept in part 7 of Double Take.
Double Take -- Part 6
July 15, 2020 • Dr. Mark Lantz
For the past six weeks, we have been discussing your soul, the seat of your emotions. We have discussed various spirits that can influence your emotions, and we have discussed your repsonsibility to recognize and control unhealthy emotions. But we have not discussed the one emotional phenomena that transcends mere emotion. It is a force of nature, impacting every aspect of your life, as well as many aspects of the lives of those around you. What is this powerful phenomena? Love. Love is the most powerful emotion a human can feel, and it is one of the most dangerous when it is not fully understood. Join Dr. Mark Lantz as he examines Paul's words on love in Part 6 of Double Take.
