Shawna lost her cool. Usually, she is hyper focused on connecting with others in a meaningful way, but when her emotions got really BIG the person who triggered her anger became the enemy.

CHRIS COURSEY is an ordained minister, pastoral counselor, published author, and international speaker. He and his wife, Jen, lead and design the THRIVE Training Program that uses brain-based exercises to train leaders, families, and communities in the 19 relational skills and the Immanuel Lifestyle. They are passionate about helping people acquire the skills to make relationships work.

Chris shares that our emotions are not bad. They are meant to help us connect with others. When our brain can’t manage what we feel our brain slips into enemy mode rather than joy-fueled relational mode. Relational mode is where we live from the heart Jesus gave us.

Chris gives us practical steps we can take when we feel stuck in enemy mode to return to engaging with others in a relational way. Ultimately, being our true self.
