I had a great time being interviewed by Kathy Grant Mahon (www.kathygrantmahon.com) and Hallam Carter of CHRI 99.1 FM (www.chri.ca) "Gospel Groove" last evening, (Sunday, Sept. 30, 2007). It's a great show, and if you love black gospel music - everything from traditional to "Holy Hip Hop" or reggae, this is a great venue for you to listen online and to learn about what is new in the gospel music scene.
Anyhow, we had a great discussion about residual anger in Christians and why people of faith often have such difficulty dealing with our negative emotions. We talked at length about forgiveness and the power of God to positively impact our hurt and wounded hearts. I don't usually talk about faith too much in this blog, but I would be remiss if I didn't share this with my readers. Moreover, research backs it up - people of faith are generally healthier and have a longer life span because they tend to have a more positive outlook on life, they have a strong support system, and they lean on their "Higher Power" when the going gets tough. Having said that, we are not perfect, and we must learn to deal appropriately with this issue - just like anyone else.
The audio recording is "so-so" for the interview, and I'd like to edit out some of the dead air and commercial breaks, etc. Once that is done, I will load it onto the blog or the website, so you can all take a listen.
