## Resource

In this episode of Unleashed , Brent Henderson shares a powerful message about discernment, emotional triggers, and what to do after you’ve already “taken the bait” in a conflict. Using a SHOT Show setup, a hunting landmine illustration, and the warning of 1 Peter 5:8 (“be alert… your enemy the devil prowls”), Brent unpacks how the Holy Spirit helps us see what we can’t see before a moment detonates. You’ll hear a personal story from a wedding reception that reveals how quickly anger can steal peace—even when the motivation feels justified—and how humility, boundaries, repentance, and empathy can redeem a situation after a misstep. If you’ve ever replayed an argument, regretted your words, or felt trapped in outrage, this episode will help you reset your heart, guard your mind, and walk in step with the Spirit.
