Christy continues to talk about emotions, this time following up on a recent Substack essay. She expands on her original thoughts and encourages her listeners to keep thinking. For the past three hundred years, emotions have been an important part of the evangelical experience. However, because they are so important, they are often manipulated as we have seen from the past two episodes of Religious Rebels.
Christy also begins a conversation about "good" and "bad" emotions. Within evangelical experiences the comfortable emotions are usually considered to be good, while uncomfortable emotions are often called sin.
Explaining that emotions should be considered a neutral response from our bodies, Christy talks about spiritual bypassing, a too simplistic definition of sin, and the good news of the grace filled gospel of Jesus.
