You’re Not The Boss Of Me
I can’t believe I said that. Why did I do that? Where did that come from? Emotions can get the best of us. If we’re not careful, things like anger, lust, greed, fear, and envy can shape our actions much more than we want them to. Monitoring our behavior is not enough. We need to monitor our hearts.

Our emotions don’t have to be the boss. In fact, Christians already have a boss—a better boss than anger, envy, insecurity, guilt, fear, or greed.
Guilt - Sep 6, 2020
Andy Stanley
We are guilty, but not condemned. Our guilt can remind us of something, but not define us.
Envy - Sep 13, 2020
Andy Stanley
Envy brings arrogance when we’re winning and discouragement when we’re not. It robs us of contentment and causes us to feel like—as an ancient king put it—we’re chasing after the wind.
Anger - Sep 20, 2020
Andy Stanley
When we take a step back and acknowledge that part of the problem is that we’re not getting our own way, anger will no longer be the boss of us.
Fear - Sep 27, 2020

You don’t have to be afraid even when there’s something to be afraid of.

When we see someone we care about make bad decisions, we can either confront them about it or hope someone else does. But we should ask ourselves: are we really being kind, or are we letting fear, discomfort, or indifference be the boss of us?
