When we think of anger, we don’t often think of it as a God-given emotion … but it is. There’s nothing in scripture that says “Don’t get angry.” Instead, we are encouraged to be slow to anger.

Remember, we are to...

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com Mental health is the same as physical health – a bodily experience.

How do we care for our minds well?  Today, Candace is joined by Dr. Anita...
