  SPEAKER_00: Join me for a fresh approach to healing grief and building your confidence after divorce.

  SPEAKER_00: Every so often we like to do a panel rant, which means just really go off about something that grinds our gears.

  SPEAKER_00: And it's really interesting how this one came to be because I brought up this morning that I sat at church this weekend and heard the pastor talk about how we should put our feelings in the caboose of the train of life.

  SPEAKER_00: And my daughter leaned over to me in church and said, Do you agree with him?

  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, not really.

  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes when we talk about church, we run the risk of really alienating our listeners who are not here for it.

  SPEAKER_00: And so then we decided we were going to talk about how many of us have been raised to put our feelings in the caboose of life and how confusing it can be to know what we should be doing with our feelings, what we've been brainwashed to do with our feelings, and what actually does Christianity say about feelings.

  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we don't.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: We don't mean to be ranting about church or setting an expectation about church per se, but this is really something that has grinded my gears for a very long time brainwashing people to have an inappropriate relationship with their own feelings.

  SPEAKER_00: And I would like to set the record straight.
