EAST Podcast: Managing Emotions – Father Heart of God
Managing Emotions – Discovering the Father Heart of God
This podcast episode on Managing Emotions featured Dr David Eckman, Founder of Becoming What God Intended Ministries and Dr Jarred Jung, EAST Resident Faculty in Systematic Theology. Eckman’s focus in this episode is on the theology of emotions and how to manage them in light of whom God as the Heavenly Father is to us.
“Recently I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. David Eckman, President of Becoming What God Intended Ministries. The topic of our interview was the importance of emotions to the humans. As a faculty in theology at EAST who teaches on the image of God, I found this conversation to be particularly interesting and important as I often find that emotions are seen as something to be avoided, or at least something thought of as less important to the individual. Sure we have them, but it is best to manage them by keeping them underneath the surface. While such a view of the emotions is valued in Confucian Asian societies, it is also regaining in some Western societies due to a resurgence in popularity of Stoicism. In this podcast interview, Dr. Eckman discusses how our emotions are indeed an important part of who we are, but also how we are created to enjoy God with our emotions and how God redeems our emotions with his fatherly love for us, even in cultures where emotions are seen as more of a negative. I hope you enjoy Dr. Eckman’s reflections on the Triune God, humanity, and emotions.” – Dr Jarred Jung

Climate Change: A Theological Primer
Climate Change: A Theological Primer, by Rev Dr Jarred Jung
Why are we concerned with climate change? I think that a large part of climate change today is man-made climate change as our planet is warming too fast as a result of greenhouse gases. Now, I see the results are coming to fruition and do not think the correlation is just a coincidence.
With the rise of carbon dioxide omitting from things such as vehicles, cars, factories and airplanes, we have more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which leads to rising temperatures. I am not a science or climate change denier. I believe it is a big issue, which is one that Christians, in particular, need to take seriously.
How did we get to this place to where climate change is an issue? By this, I do not mean “why is there global warming?” What is at the root of this need to deal with an issue like man-made climate change? To discuss this, we are going to look at the Bible.
