Ep. 192: The Reality Blindness of Out of Control Emotions

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 192, “The Reality Blindness of Out of Control Emotions,” Kim discusses the dangers of allowing your emotions to blind you to reality. In today’s story, we see how Amnon’s lack of emotional control led to his deplorable choices and the destruction of parts of Tamar she would not recover.

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 13:6-15 with 15 as the focal verse:

 

15 Then suddenly Amnon’s love turned to hate, and he hated her even more than he had loved her. “Get out of here!” he snarled at her.

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:
