It’s an angry world! Shouting matches on TV. Profanity and name-calling in the media. Rants and shaming on social media. Road rage in the streets. By contrast, Christ-followers are called to speak words that encourage and give grace to those who hear. How do we model Christ in our politicized, polarized, and outraged culture? Is it even possible to minister when you’re also angry? Especially when some of the angriest voices belong to Christians—with the resulting fallout of increased hostility towards the church (sometimes for good reason).
