Jeremy Utley - How Does a Disciple Deal With Feelings?
Summary
Jeremy Utley teaches that disciples must not allow their feelings to become their primary focus or fixation. Instead, when emotions arise, believers should redirect their attention to God's purpose and will, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. By refusing to be controlled by feelings and offering this sacrifice to God, disciples experience the joy of the Lord as their strength and are paradoxically renewed rather than defeated by their emotions.

Jeremy Utley - Having The Right Attitude Towards Discipleship
Jeremy Utley · Aug 11, 2022
The speaker uses examples from the Gospel of Luke, particularly the healing of the demon-possessed man, to discuss the proper attitude toward ministry and discipleship. He contrasts instances where Jesus commanded silence with the instance where he told the man to proclaim God's works. The central message is that believers should not be discouraged by lack of appreciation, but rather should be proactive in sharing the testimony of God's power, embracing an offensive witness rather than clinging defensively to a comfortable environment.
