In this episode, we confront one of the hardest emotions men face in divorce — anger. Emotions are real, and like a thermometer, they reveal what’s happening inside us without defining who we are. We’ll talk about how emotions are morally neutral and how understanding them can lead to healing instead of destruction. Through biblical teaching, we’ll explore how God calls men to face their anger honestly and let it refine rather than consume them.

Bible Verse Inspiration: Ephesians 4:26–27 (NIV): “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."
