Rich Villodas – the pastor at New Life Fellowship in NYC – has a great tool for what to do whenever a disproportionate reaction arises in your life. He invites us to ask these questions. 

1.    What happened? 

2.    What am I feeling? 

3.    What does the story I’m telling myself? 

4.    What does the gospel say? 

5.    What is the counter instinctual act that is required?
