1013. Sovereignty and Dogs (Exodus 11:4-9) | Paul Tripp’s 5-Minute Bible Study

Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul opens Exodus 11 to show how God’s absolute sovereignty in the final plague reveals his ability to faithfully keep every one of his redeemed people.

1012. The Blessings and Danger of Anger (Part 1) | The Connecting Podcast Ep. 050
Jan 03, 2026

When was the last time you got angry? Why did you get angry? Who were you angry with? What was the fruit of that anger?

We experience anger every day, but not all anger is wrong—and not all anger should be resisted. In this Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby Abbott begin an extended conversation on the blessings and dangers of anger.

Anger, while not listed as a fruit of the Spirit, can be a righteous, God-honoring response. Our God is filled with holy anger, and as his image-bearers, we are called to reflect his character. Duration: 01:55:25
