  1. Yes! I did laugh out loud because I totally could relate to this podcast today and for probably last month of my life!

  2. Bryan all your nutty nut shell sermons make me smile, but I was laughing out loud on this one! I am picturing you with that hammer and doorknob! What is most refreshing is that when you share your humaness, I can feel ok when I fall short.
    I had a similar episode a few weeks ago when I spilled left over Chili trying to get it from the frig. I had a cussing, pitty party fit! Then I had to repent, which was not easy Its a good thing his mercies are new every morning, cause I need every one

  3. Have lost it a time or to myself and always felt worse after dealing with anger and letting it get the best of me instead of letting Christ lead me in my attitudes and action. Right on point. Glad to know I’m not the only one

  4. Yep, been there. Thanks for keeping it real, and thank God for grace, or this is one pastor that would be screwed!✝️

  5. I am glad it’s not just me… unfortunately, I sometimes aim my tirades at the ones I love best. Open my mouth and the anger flows out unchecked… cleanup after that mess is painful. I’m gonna go look for a doorknob next time!

    1. LOL I took my wrath out on my wife verbally just last night.. so thats not just me either! I’ve learned from rehab. “When I’m wrong, I promptly admitted it” … except for my ‘promptness’! LOL

  6. I’m a little behind in listening to these, but this is just what I needed TODAY. Thanks for always managing to encourage me!

    1. Hi Deb actually I’m excited to know that someone hears the earlier one later!!! feel like they’ll never get heard.. but trust me, that implication will come around more than once to beat something to death! LOL

  7. So true, Brother Bryan! Being an Aspergerian and a Believer isn’t easy. I have punched a bag and a wall, (Thankfully, drywall is replaceable.) Or say something silly. My crew leader said he didn’t want me to call the Hilo drivers every 5 minutes and I said in a Groucho impersonation: “What do you want me to call them?” Heck, there’s only One who could walk on water. Keeping my eyes focused on Him is a good challenge. Love your Nutshell Sermons!

  8. Ok- thanks so much for the visual image and the laugh. I hate the you were stressed to that point, but lately I can definitely relate to surprise rage these last couple weeks. Trying to get my moods sorted out is sometimes a full time challenge. So the laugh was a nice relief- also made me wonder what I look like in the middle of my own crises… I hope it’s laughable, too!

      1. You know, it hasn’t been a year since you posted your last comment for this. Met any good doorknobs lately? I’ve been busy fussing at my covers, missing appts for dumb reasons, the recliner, a pair of sweat pants I just can’t find the nerve to get rid of… who said if it only has one decent sized hole they’re no longer comfy?

        1. HI T Bright.. I’m going to start posting links to back nutshells because I was just getting started and a lot of peeps didn’t hear em! .. too good to go to waste!

  9. I can relate to this more often than I would like to admit. I know the Bible says to be slow to anger. I am struggling. Dealing with an 8 year old granddaughter, who is hyper and wants to challenge your patience every day. Ahh Lord help me to not beat the crap out of my computer or TV remote. LOL. Thanks for the laughs.

  10. I did laugh out loud, not because I saw myself, but I saw my husband. Even before I knew him he left holes in walls wherever he lived. We had holes in our walls in all our places, so far not in our condo now. My mother-in-law’s house, which we are hoping to own soon, had several holes, but I found out it was his sister that made one of those, also. Little did I know. I’m trying to think what my outbursts were like. I don’t recall hitting things, slamming things, throwing things, etc. I must have done something. Now I think I just cuss, which is not normal for me.

    And it’s always funny to me that when something happens in your life, you happen to run into a devotional or a song or something that keeps that reminder in front of you. God will keep us on our toes.
