Emotional Wisdom in the Christian Life

Although they add richness and color to life, emotions can also be very difficult to understand and manage. So, what role do they have in the Christian life? This presentation will explore four skill-sets associated with “emotional intelligence,” evaluated in the light of a biblical worldview, and applied in some pastoral care cases. These skill sets are: (1) accessing and expressing emotions accurately; (2) using feelings to assist in reasoning, (3) understanding how emotions typically function in our lives, and (4) regulating emotions to promote social and intellectual growth.
