"Do you want to fix your anger problem? Be a better listener. Hold your tongue."

— Natalie Abbott

Today's episode: If we're being totally honest, most of us have an anger problem. It isn't just in those explosive moments, but in the long held grudges and under currents of frustration that we often keep hidden. But how do we fix our anger problem? Listen in today as Natalie shares relatable stories and biblical truths to help us see how being better listeners and more patient communicators can actually help us diffuse our anger. If you’ve ever struggled with low simmer anger or felt stuck in reactive patterns, this episode is for you.

This month's memory verse: "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." — James 1:19b
