015 Why Insecurity Leads to Anger in Marriage — And How to Break the Cycle

Husbands,
Does anger frequently impact your marriage?
Does fear of looking foolish cause behaviors you're not proud of?
Do you feel stuck in a crazy cycle of insecurity & anger?
Anger often looks like the main problem, but many times it is only the surface issue. Underneath the anger may be insecurity, fear of failure, fear of looking foolish, or a shaky sense of identity.
In this episode, Glenn explains how insecurity can lead men to lash out, control others, withdraw, or react in ways that damage their marriage, family, and leadership. He teaches that men need a secure foundation that does not come from circumstances, performance, reputation, or other people’s opinions. That foundation is found in God and in the identity He gives through Scripture.
