We Get Angry with God with Laurie Brock (For Groups)","description":"

Do you ever get mad at God?

Anger at God can produce shame, depression, and alienation. However, as Episcopal priest Laurie Brock says, anger is not good or bad, but rather a neutral and natural emotion created by God.

In this course, Brock calls on a lifetime of study and counseling to offer insights into what anger is, why we get angry with God, and how we might address this potentially debilitating occurrence. Brock's four video lectures include:

What is Anger?
Why Do We Get Angry with God?
Is Anger at God Okay?
Coping with Our Anger with God.
Transforming Our Anger with God.

For Groups

This course is designed for group study. We've formatted the material so that you can begin at the next step - then pause at the end of each video lecture and talk about what you've learned. Pick and choose the videos you want or proceed in the sequence we've designed - your call.

Included are two manuals you may find helpful - a Facilitator's Guide and a Participant's Guidr. Both contain helpful material for your learning, including tips, prayers and discussion questions for each lecture. You may want to print these up and make copies before you proceed. You will notice that each video features a brief introduction, which the leader or someone else might want to read before each lecture.

Here's a video preview:
