Why is everyone so angry all the time?

Dr. Jim Wilder of Life Model Works and author of Escaping Enemy Mode: How Our Brains Unite or Divide Us offers that it’s because we are in enemy mode.

There are different types of enemy mode.

Simple Enemy Mode is when our brains see the person in front of us as a problem to be solved. In that moment, we are not loving others like Jesus does.

Stupid Enemy mode is when we respond out of the heat of the moment in a way doesn’t represent who we truly are – we do something “stupid” that we later regret.

Intelligent Enemy Mode is when we strategize how to make others lose. We are so focused on #1 that we plan how to use others hurts to hurt them as a means of self-protection.

We can easily slip into enemy mode but must intentionally work our way out of it. The good news is, we can learn how to do that! And if we learn to do that, we could change the world!

And in this episode...

If you are a Christian who battles to live into your God-given identity you’re not alone. Shawna shares how her girlhood dream was to sing the world into love relationship with God. She knew how to package her dream to look good to Christians but it was much more about desiring the praise of others than praising God.

Last, Perry’s coming back to the heart of worship. He prays, “Lord I’m sorry for making it about me so many times. Forgive me. Like the Grinch, enlarge my heart. Baptize me again in your love and break my heart for a lost world.”
