In our world, emotional distress seems to be increasing. So, can we integrate biblical principles, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices to help us master our emotions rather than allowing our emotions to master us? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Dr. Kevin Chapman. Kevin is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Founder and Director of the Kentucky Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders. He leads the Sound Mind Ministries and hosts The Sound Mind Show on YouTube. His most recent book is entitled Mastering Our Emotions. Together, Kevin and Jason have a hope-filled conversation about how we can master our emotions through biblical principles and the power of Christ. Kevin also touches on some of the realities and some of the misconceptions about negative emotions and gives us practical ways that we, as ministry leaders, can help others overcome negative emotions through the power of Christ.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Kevin Chapman on the connection between faith, intentionality, and the power of transformation that reaches both the heart and mind: "By partnering with the Holy Spirit and confronting those emotions, you're literally reprogramming your brain."
Kevin Chapman on the importance of analyzing and understanding the broader aspects of emotions rather than solely experiencing or describing how they feel: "Focus on the features of emotions, not just the feelings of emotions."
Kevin Chapman on the important role emotions play in guiding us through life and our spiritual journey: "Our emotions are meant to help us navigate our world, even to serve God, but we have to learn to regulate them."
