About
Emotions are a gift from God-yes, even the "bad" ones.
Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors-all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find
- exercises
- worksheets
- Scripture readings, and
- reflection prompts
to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.

"Kevin Chapman skillfully integrates biblical truth and a transdiagnostic therapy approach to teach readers how to master emotions and overcome neuroticism. While not well understood in the church today, neuroticism inhibits people's joy and undermines their ability to live out their callings. Practical exercises for applying clinical skills and scriptural teaching are woven throughout this manual in a way that will encourage readers in their walk with Christ as they learn the material. Bothpastors and counselors will find this resource helpful in working with those they serve."

"Dr. Chapman has an incredible talent of teaching us how to use our faith and effective treatment skills in tandem to address our emotions. This text outlines the skills we are meant to have from a biblical perspective while simultaneously providing concrete skills rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. The clear biblical and therapeutic guidance is easy to follow, and the practice questions and prompts following each section allow you to see how to put your new knowledge into practice! I highly recommend this book for all believers who are hoping to gain clear skills to manage emotions."
