What role do emotions have in our discipleship to Jesus? Dr. Anita Phillips, trauma therapist, minister and life coach, uses Jesus’ parable of the sower in Matthew 13 to show how emotions are the soil in the ground which allows the word of God, or the seed, to take root in our lives and transform us.

This conversation, hosted by NAE President Walter Kim, discusses the importance of emotional health and how our emotions are not something we should fear, but instead something we should embrace.

You’ll also hear Dr. Anita discuss: 

• How embracing our emotions is integral to our spiritual growth;
• Recent discoveries in neurobiology that echo what we know in Scripture;
• How Christians can lead in spaces of emotional well-being; and
• The impact her book, “The Garden Within” has had in both faith-based and secular spheres.
