STB158 | BSE | Conflict: Anger E2 | Cultivate Relationships

BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION — Nathan and Pastor Scott conclude their two-part teaching on anger by clarifying how anger reveals what’s happening in the heart. In this second episode, they move from unhealthy expressions of anger (smoldering and explosive) into a biblical understanding of righteous anger, showing how anger can either protect one's self or serve restoration. The conversation challenges listeners to discern motive, submit reactions to the Holy Spirit, and practice repentance that leads toward maturity, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This episode brings both teachings together, offering a clear pathway for handling anger in a way that reflects the heart of our Heavenly Father. *Please note, this discussion takes place in two episodes. This is episode two.*

— EPISODE CHAPTERS —
(00:00) From Smoldering to Explosive Anger
The episode wraps up smoldering anger (quiet resentment, avoidance, passive control) and transitions into explosive anger—how outbursts, escalation, and intimidation often reveal unprocessed offense and unmet desires.
(21:28) Righteous Anger
The focus shifts to righteous anger—how anger can be a Spirit-led response when it protects what is good, confronts what harms, and refuses to let injustice or distortion stand, without becoming self-righteous or cruel.
(33:42) Application: Checking Our Anger
This section closes the righteous anger teaching with application questions that help expose motives. The aim is discernment: is anger rooted in love and restoration, or in ego, control, fear, and self-protection?
(50:20) Activation Steps (for episodes 1 & 2)
This episode closes by combining the activation questions from both parts—identifying your anger pattern, inviting the Holy Spirit to search your heart, repenting where needed, and taking practical steps toward repair.
