Emotional leadership is not optional. If you can’t lead your emotions, you can’t lead people without eventually wounding them.

Emotional leadership is a biblical issue before it is a practical one. In this message, Michael Martin shows from Proverbs 4, Luke 6, James 1, Galatians 5, Numbers 20, Philippians 4, and Matthew 26 that God calls leaders to shepherd their inner life before they guide others.

Scripture reveals that unmanaged anger, anxiety, pride, and reactivity do not stay private—they spill into tone, decisions, and influence.

This teaching calls Christian leaders to guard the heart, submit strong emotion to God, and pursue Spirit-formed self-control that reflects the character of Christ.

📍 WHAT'S COVERED:

• Why emotional leadership begins with guarding the heart
• What Luke 6 teaches about the mouth revealing the inner life
• Why anger must be governed, not excused, in leadership
• The fruit of the Spirit and self-control in Christian leadership
• How Moses misrepresented God through unmanaged emotion
• How prayer, peace, and surrender reshape a leader’s reactions
• What it means to let Christ rule your inner life
