Responding Instead of Reacting

A Free Biblical and Practical Workshop for Understanding and Managing Strong Emotions

Have you ever reacted to something and then, a few minutes later, thought, “I wish I had handled that differently”?

Maybe you became angry or defensive. Maybe anxiety took over. Or maybe you shut down, overthought the situation, or said something you later regretted.

Strong emotions are part of being human. They can alert us to what matters, reveal what is happening beneath the surface, and influence how we relate to others. But strong emotions do not have to control our words, decisions, or relationships.

That is why I am hosting a free live online workshop called Responding Instead of Reacting.

The workshop will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern and will last approximately 60 minutes, followed by an optional question-and-answer time.

from the Westminster Shorter Catechism:
"Generous God, your Spirit dwelling among your people, working your salvation deep into our daily lives, is a thing of simple beauty--powerful grace, freely flowing forgiveness, lavish giving. Continue to make us full players in Christ's redemption story through the Holy Spirit. Amen"

"Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare."
Psalm 40: 5
May words of praise be continually in your mind and then on your tongue today as you go about your day. Remember: they are too many to declare!!
