What do we really mean when we talk about righteous anger?
Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'm not just angry — I'm righteously angry"? Or maybe you've justified your frustration by asking, "Wasn't Jesus angry too?"
We've all been there. But what if the way Christians talk about righteous anger, justified anger, and righteous indignation is actually keeping us from doing the harder work of examining our own hearts?
In this episode of the Healthy & Redeemed Podcast, we look at righteous anger, justified anger, and righteous indignation. We dig into why comparing our anger to Jesus and God's wrath might be self-deception.
This episode is an invitation to submit your anger to God rather than defend it, to respond with righteousness instead of remaining fueled by emotion, and to trust that God’s patience and wisdom are at work in us.
