What's Really Behind Your Anger | Disciple Blueprint Podcast
Anger is almost never the real issue. It is the surface emotion — the one that shows up first and loudest — covering something deeper: hurt, fear, unmet expectations, pride, or plain exhaustion. In this episode we walk through all five hidden causes of anger, anchor each one in Scripture, and Raymond shares a personal story of the two times in his life he was genuinely furious at God — and what the Holy Spirit said when he finally calmed down enough to listen.
- The five hidden emotions anger most frequently covers
- Why Jonah's anger had nothing to do with Nineveh — and everything to do with his own expectations
- A personal story: Raymond's sister Saundra, three weeks in the hospital, and the answer he didn't expect
- What ”secondary emotion” means and why it matters for how you deal with anger
- How to move from reaction to examination using Psalm 4:4
