SNS 102: Of Christians and Anger
This past week I have had cause to get angry at work. Now, the ins and outs of why are not crucial to our chat. For we all know what it’s like to get mad at work, right? But the anger itself is what is of interest. Because it brought to mind an age-old question; is getting angry a sin? Is it a sign of weak faith? This is what we are going to chat about in this episode.
Now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes, and this is the first episode of our new Coffee-side Chat series here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. As we have been sharing over the past three weeks, the Psalm Tuesday series is taking a small break. This is because I still need to complete work on the remaining Psalms to continue that series. It will come back from vacation once work on those psalms is done. However, this podcast is still for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. The Coffee-side Chat gets its name from… well, because there is a cup of coffee sitting beside me, this very instant, and we are currently chatting. Well, technically, I’m chatting; you’re listening. But let’s not get hung up on technicalities just yet. There will be time for that later.
Also, before we begin, I am proud to say that this podcast is sponsored by our book, Psalms 1-72, A Simple Not Shallow Presentation. This book is a collection of the first 72 Psalms, presenting them in a manner that helps reveal the prayerfulness of the Psalms. That is exciting! I’ve provided a couple of links in the show notes for this episode. One to my website where you can learn more about this book and another to where it is located on Amazon.com, just for your convenience. So, go ahead and collect your copy today.
But for now, grab yourself some coffee and let the chat begin.
