In this powerful episode 92 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim explore the role of emotions in our spiritual lives. Too often, we either let emotions dictate our faith or suppress them entirely. But what if emotions were never meant to be in control—only to guide us?

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
✅ Why emotions are like a thermometer, not a steering wheel in your faith.
✅ How Jesus displayed emotions—without letting them control Him.
✅ The dangers of extreme emotionalism vs. cold intellectualism in faith.
✅ Practical ways to submit emotions to God while still embracing them.
✅ How revival often begins with deep emotional encounters with God.

Ask Yourself:
🔹 Am I allowing emotions to drive my decisions instead of God’s truth?
🔹 Do I suppress emotions, fearing they’ll lead me astray?
🔹 How can I surrender my emotions to Jesus while still being authentic?
🔹 Could my emotions be pointing me toward areas where God wants to work in my life?

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone struggling to balance emotions and faith. Whether you tend to rely too much on feelings or ignore them altogether, this conversation will help you find a healthier, more Christ-centered approach.
