    5 Steps To Developing Your Emotional Intelligence

    Date: Apr 21, 2026

    Theme: God's Full Life For You

    Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.

    For today’s episode, we’re talking about emotional intelligence. God created us with the capacity to feel emotions, but as humans living in a broken world, navigating these emotions can be a challenge. The benefits of becoming emotionally intelligent go beyond your own mental and emotional health – this skill will also make all the difference in your marriage.
