In this video, J. Alasdair Groves explains how beating yourself with the gospel can distort the gospel's meaning for us and make us unhappier.

J. Alasdair Groves (MDiv, Westminster Theological Seminary) formerly served as the executive director for the New England branch of the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). He is the host of the podcast Where Life and Scripture Meet and the coauthor of Untangling Emotions.

The Bible teaches us that our emotions are an indispensable part of what makes us human—and play a crucial role in our relationships with God and others. Exploring how God designed emotions for our good, this book shows us how to properly engage with our emotions—even the more difficult ones like fear, anger, shame, guilt, and sorrow—so we can better understand what they reveal about our hearts and handle them wisely in everyday moments.
