When anxiety rises, it can feel like every problem needs to be solved immediately. But reacting too quickly can sometimes create more confusion.

Self-regulation gives us space to slow down, acknowledge what we are feeling, and choose a thoughtful response.

Do you keep repeating the same patterns or reacting in ways you regret? What No One Told You About Life starts Sept. 18 and offers practical tools for emotional maturity and healthier relationships.

When we grow in self-awareness, we become more present in our relationships, more thoughtful in our decisions, and more open to the work God wants to do in us.

Take a moment to reflect: What might God be inviting you to notice about yourself today?

[Faithwalking @faithwalking_us]

Regulating your emotions doesn't mean pretending they don't exist or pushing them aside. It means acknowledging what you're feeling, taking responsibility for your response, and choosing your next step with wisdom.

[Faithwalking @faithwalking_us]

Transformation rarely happens all at once. More often, it unfolds through ordinary moments—choosing to pause instead of react, extending grace instead of criticism, and trusting God one faithful step at a time.

@danwhitejr I totally agree. But the discipler must be a person who understands the tools necessary for emotional maturity and is growing themselves.

[Ken Shuman @kenshuman]

@danwhitejr I lead a ministry called Faithwalking (https://t.co/iIDZaCHMDz) that addresses this. It took me almost 20 years before it hit me. I had no clue. Now I have the tools. Every pastor needs them.

Most of us learned our emotional patterns in the first 18 years of life—and we’re still living by them.
It’s time to break the cycle.

I'm convinced that anger is the fruit, but fear is the root. In order to produce better fruit in our lives, we need to tend to the roots. Next time you get angry, stop and ask yourself what you are being threatened by.

This is so good and is also my experience.

[chuck degroat @chuckdegroat]

I grew up in a world where being right eclipsed being faithful.
Where factions and fences stood taller than following Jesus,
Where desire was shameful,
impulse was suspect,
anxiety was sin,
and the answer was a single word—no.

I was formed in a system where correctness outweighed character,
where formulations of atonement mattered more than the fruit of love,
where doctrinal precision left discipleship gasping for air.
We debated whether our neighbor was elect
while forgetting to love them.
We honored beliefs
but ignored the world’s ache.
We spoke of God’s justice
but kept our hands clean of injustice.
We drew lines in the sand,
and called it holiness.
Certainty reigned; humility was lost.
And God?
God looked less like a loving parent
and more like an anxious warden.

I didn’t know how to love myself.
I didn’t know how to love the world.
I didn’t know how to love God.

So I began to grow up.

Not by grasping tighter,
but by letting go.
By following Jesus instead of fleeing heresy.
By trusting my heart’s deep currents
instead of condemning its depths.
By confessing the sins not just of self,
but of systems.
By crossing the lines love demands,
rather than guarding the lines fear draws.

I’m still learning—
how to love,
how to follow,
even how to believe.
I’m dying, day by day,
to what I was told would save me
but only ever shamed me.

And I am discovering—
Jesus’s yoke is easy.
His burden, light.
That rest is possible
after a life of reactivity.

To grow up,
you must unlearn everything first.
You must embrace what you once exiled,
both in the world and within your own soul.
You must look up,
and see the Father’s arms—open wide—
even as you’re still clutching your last defense of being right.
You must let love reach your body,
especially when your body has lived locked and armored.

You must see:
All is love.
All is love.
And all will finally be resolved
in love.

"The consequences of justice and righteousness is 'shalom' - an enduring sabbath of joy and well-being. But the alternative is injustice and oppression, which lead inevitably to turmoil and anxiety with no chance of well-being." Walter Brueggemann in Living Towards a Vision.
