- There are so many myths and lies circulating today about our emotions. Often they are looked at as opposing logic, being dangerous, or simply being misleading, But the Bible tells us a different story.
God created us - along with our emotions - on purpose, and with purpose. But how do we effectively use and manage the emotions He has given us?
Follow along with marriage experts Greg and Erin Smalley as they discuss what the Bible actually says about emotions, how to understand and interpret the information our emotions provide, and how emotions are a central part of how we connect to the people around us.

I just like to have someone care about my feelings and acknowledge them, even if they don't fix the situation. I'm fully aware sometimes you just have to use common sense and work together to get a situation resolved, but a good hug can work wonders!
Thank you Erin and Greg. I learnt a lot from your videos. And now I know I'm not I'm not responsible for other people's emotions. I used to be very critical, judgemental and defensive when people tell me their feelings and opinion. But now I know they only feel more safe and comfortable when I show compassion and empathy.

Y'all are such a blessing
I was brought up in the church to not trust my emotions. Now, in dealing with betrayal, I have ALL the emotions ALL THE TIME! It’s just so hard to identify what I’m feeling sometimes. I don’t even know if I love my husband anymore. Such a mess!
😢praying for you girl 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Jesus bring peace, give wisdom, and clarity. Holy Spirit restore. Amen.

very well-expressed, thanks for sharing!
You both very inpiring. Blessing.
Thank you Liana! Blessings to you too!
You make some very practical and helpful suggestions, but I would first challenge your central premise, “emotions are neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. They are just information”. What about hatred, jealousy, envy, rage, greed, lust, the desire to control. Call them “feelings“, “impulses“, “emotions”, or whatever, but those are sinful sensations originating in the heart, that are not subject to God. Second, I think in this age, it is essential in this kind of discussion to point out that feelings or emotions are not reality. What we call “reality“, the Bible calls “truth“ and ultimately it is God’s perception or evaluation of a particular situation. And that sense reality is not relative or subjective, but very much objective and concrete. A lot of people find themselves in conflict, ridden marriages because one or both partners are convinced that what they feel is their “truth“.
