We all know that anger will only wound those around us. But its silent brother, sulking, can be just as deadly. Make war on the urge to sulk when you don’t get your way. This is such an important topic, and I’m glad we can get to it today. Pastor John joins us over the telephone. The topic comes up in an email question from a podcast listener named Christopher in Seattle, Washington. “Pastor John, thank you for this podcast. When I get angry in my home, I have a tendency to shut down. I don’t lash out in anger or cuss; I sulk. I give my wife the silent treatment. I know this is wrong. Please help me better understand how to communicate in my home when or shortly after conflict flares up. I want to lead well and reflect Christ more. As a leader of your home, what have you learned over the years?” Episode 1227: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/make-war-on-your-urge-to-sulk Related Resources: “How to Fight Laziness” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLxmoWRh-yg “The Root of Sinful Anger” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x4zogEftfc “Don’t Waste Your Mornings” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fPUxAetKeA “Confronting Emotional and Verbal Abuse in the Home” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncNIuT3kIQk Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
