You’re performing your faith instead of living it. Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that feeling less made us more like Jesus. So we shut down fear. We ignored hurt. We hid loneliness. We spiritualized sadness. We demonized anger. We drowned shame. We denied guilt. We numbed gladness. And then we wondered why our souls couldn’t breathe.
You were never designed to be a spiritual robot. You were designed to be a whole person — heart, mind, body, spirit — fully alive, fully aware, fully connected. Jesus didn’t disconnect from His heart. He felt. He wept. He groaned. He got angry at injustice. He felt compassion move Him to act. He sweat blood under pressure.
He didn’t numb His humanity, He embraced it.
So here’s the truth:
You can’t heal what you refuse to feel. And ignoring your emotions won’t make you holy. It’ll make you anxious, disconnected, and quietly falling apart. This is why we’re walking through the 8 Core Feelings, not as psychology, but as discipleship.
Because healing isn’t the absence of emotions, it’s the integration of them.
Let’s stop performing faith and start practicing wholeness.
Tomorrow, we begin with Fear, not as an enemy to conquer, but as a doorway back to wisdom, grounding, and connection.
You need to be more honest. Your heart is not your problem. Your avoidance is.
Let’s do this.
