Digust: Inside Out Faith: The Science and Spirituality of Emotions

About this sermon

Pastor Bill Gepford and Dr. Rebeca Chow dive into one of our most visceral emotions—disgust—exploring both its surprising gift and its dangerous shadow side. What You'll Discover: - Why disgust is actually designed to protect us (and why we need it) - How disgust can slip into rigid, all-or-nothing thinking - The difference between being disgusted by actions vs. being disgusted by people - What Jesus' response to the woman caught in adultery teaches us about shame - A simple pause-and-reflect practice to keep disgust from controlling your relationships *The Challenge:* When you feel that gut-level "ick" reaction toward another person, pause. Ask yourself: What is this feeling trying to protect? And more importantly—can I still see the image of God in this person, even if I disagree with their choices? Because here's the truth: Disgust can keep us safe from harm, but it should never keep us from seeing the sacred worth in every human being.
