Ep. 45 - What Anger Is Really Costing You with Pastor Glen Williams
In Episode 45 of Joy Hour, Tom Lyman sits down with his father-in-law, Pastor Glen Williams, for an honest conversation about anger, pride, forgiveness, marriage, and the work required to become a healthier man. Pastor Glen brings more than a decade of experience teaching anger management, substance abuse, domestic violence, and behavioral change through the NCTI curriculum and the On Track Life Enrichment Program. Together, he and Tom explore why anger is often misunderstood, why so many men refuse to admit they have a problem, and how pride can keep someone trapped in the same destructive patterns. The conversation looks closely at the connection between values, attitude, and behavior. A man may claim honesty, integrity, and faithfulness as core values, but when his behavior no longer reflects those values, frustration and anger often begin to build. Anger is not always the real problem. Sometimes it is the visible result of disappointment, hidden failure, unresolved pain, unmet expectations, or a life being lived out of alignment. Tom and Pastor Glen also discuss the difference between righteous anger and destructive anger, why anger itself is not automatically sinful, and how the response to anger determines where it leads. They examine the danger of unrealistic expectations, taking everything personally, refusing to ask for help, and allowing resentment to quietly grow. A major part of the episode focuses on forgiveness. Unresolved wounds from parents, spouses, childhood experiences, rejection, abuse, and personal failure can follow a person for years. Pastor Glen explains why forgiveness is necessary for healing, why men sometimes need to ask their own children for forgiveness, and how letting go of the past can change the way someone responds in the present. The conversation also addresses the damage uncontrolled anger can do to a marriage. Broken communication, lost trust, emotional distance, and unresolved conflict rarely appear overnight. They build when couples stop listening, stop forgiving, and stop allowing God to shape the way they respond to one another. This episode is a challenge to stop normalizing anger that is damaging a marriage, frightening children, destroying peace, or holding back purpose. Healing requires honesty, brotherhood, wise counsel, spiritual growth, and a willingness to change. What is your anger trying to reveal about what is really happening inside you?
