Do you know anyone who is angry right now? Are you trying to lead while dealing with your own anger? On this week’s episode of the Church Leadership Podcast, Mark and Andy are delighted to be joined once again by their friend, Joël Malm to discuss a topic that hits home with all of us these days: anger. Politics, pandemics, and people have threatened or ruined our sense of control, and this often makes us angry. There is so much helpful wisdom and insight in this episode, and we can’t wait for you to listen and be encouraged on how we can deal with our anger! Joël is an author, pastor, podcaster, entrepreneur, and leadership coach from San Antonio, TX. He’s written several books, which include Vision Map, Fully You, Love Slows Down, and Guided by Thunder. You can find more out about Joël and check out his podcast here.

“Anger is always a result of feeling fear, feeling a threat to something you value.”

“When we get angry, it’s because we are looking for security, connection, and control somewhere other than the only place we are going to get it, which is God’s love.”

“Because of the nature of what we do (as pastors), it’s really easy to think your anger is righteous anger.”

“If people around you are feeling angry, you might be the cause of it.”

“Fear is a very strong emotion, and there is only one thing stronger than fear, and that’s perfect love drives out fear. Which means, perfect love drives out anger.”

“That’s the cool thing about meditation, it’s the same process as worrying, but worrying is focusing on all the wrong that can happen. And meditation is focusing on all that is right and the truth…”

“If you are looking for a formula, you are going to get frustrated and angry. What you need is ongoing revelation of the truth, the Holy Spirit guiding you in all truth.”
