In this powerful episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen tackle a misunderstood emotion: anger. Often viewed as the problem, anger is actually a signal—one that points to deeper, often unaddressed emotional wounds, especially in men shaped by trauma, shame, and silence.Dustin and Luke explore how coping mechanisms like anger, withdrawal, or addiction are often used to mask deeper spiritual and emotional pain. Through a biblical lens, they discuss how understanding the root causes of anger can lead to true healing, repentance, and freedom in Christ.This conversation encourages men to confront what’s beneath the outburst, equipping listeners—and leaders—to move beyond behavior management into heart transformation. If you’ve struggled with emotional control, or you’re ministering to men who are, this episode offers truth, hope, and practical tools.🧭 Key Takeaways:✔️ Men often use coping mechanisms to avoid dealing with trauma.✔️ Coping mechanisms can manifest as addictions or disobedience.✔️ Repentance begins with recognizing the need for change.✔️ Transformation requires both acceptance and action.✔️ The gospel offers hope and healing for emotional wounds.🕐 Time Stamps:30 Understanding Trauma and Coping Mechanisms  5:48 Spiritual Insights on Coping and Sin  12:43 Identifying and Confronting Coping Mechanisms  18:21 The Journey of Repentance and Transformation  23:19 The Beauty of Brokenness and Healing  24:30 Understanding Addictions and Coping Mechanisms  27:30 Embracing Emotional Injuries and Healing  32:55 The Role of Ministry Leaders in Healing  39:06 The Gospel's Power in Transformation<a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/menaftergod">Support the show</a>📌 Connect with Men After God: 🌍 Website: <a href='http://www.menaftergod.net/'>www.menaftergod.net</a> 📺 YouTube: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316'>www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316</a> 📷 Instagram: <a href='http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod'>www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod</a> 👥 Join Our Community: <a href='http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod'>facebook.com/groups/menaftergod</a> 🛒 Get MAG Merch: <a href='http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod'>www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod</a> 💙 Support Us: <a href='http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod'>www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod</a> 🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts
