"Emotions are a good barometer of where we are spiritually."  In this thought-provoking episode, the Spiritual Perspectives: Discerning News team, Tiger Coll, D.D. along with Teresa and Tom Shantz explore how current events—including the emotional reactions surrounding Dr. Fauci's recent Fifth Amendment hearings—can become powerful opportunities for self-awareness rather than fear, anger, or division.

Instead of focusing solely on politics or opinions, they invite listeners to look inward and discover how emotional energy influences communication, relationships, and personal growth.  "Inner balance allows us to navigate global events with clarity."

Throughout the conversation, they discuss the difference between emotions and true feelings, why emotional reactions are valuable messengers, and how remaining present during uncertain times allows us to respond with greater wisdom instead of reacting from old patterns.

They also explore the balance between wartime and peacetime leadership, the importance of supportive community, and how releasing suppressed emotions can create greater healing, clarity, and inner peace.

In this episode you'll discover:

  • Why today's headlines trigger such powerful emotional responses.
  • What your emotions are really trying to communicate.
  • The difference between reacting emotionally and responding consciously.
  • How emotional energy affects every conversation.
  • Why presence is one of the greatest spiritual practices during uncertain times.
  • The importance of community in healing and personal growth.
  • Practical ways to stay grounded in a world filled with fear and division.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by current events or simply wanting to better understand your own emotional responses, this episode offers practical spiritual tools to help you remain centered, aware, and connected to your inner wisdom.
