If you've been listening to Theocast, you’ve probably heard us say, “Don’t trust your feelings when it comes to assurance or peace with God.” As you learn more about the Reformed or confessional faith, you might wonder if emotions are bad and should be pushed aside. Yet, as you live your life and feel deeply, you may ask: do my emotions matter—to God, my pastor, or my church?
