Slow to Anger | God Has a Name E4

Practicing the Way
About this episode

"We think of God's love and God's anger as at odds with one another. That's because we don't understand God's love or God's anger."

John Mark challenges our perceptions of God, both the God who is always angry and the God who never gets angry, by showing in the Scriptures how God is both patient and wrathful, and why both are important for our understanding of who God is and what that means for us in our lives.


Key Scripture Passages: Exodus 34v6-7, Matthew 21v12-14, James 1v19-20, 5v7-8
