Welcome back to Joy Hour. This is Episode 27 and Part 2 of our temperament series with Dr. Lana Lyman.
In this conversation, Tom and Lana move from defining temperament to explaining what it changes in real life: your decisions, your responsibilities, your relationships, and even your spiritual development. Dr. Lana breaks down how unmet temperament needs create internal stress, and how understanding God’s design can bring clarity, balance, and peace.
They also explore the deeper “heart hunger” that drives humanity to chase things that never satisfy, and why true fulfillment is found when we are aligned with God’s purpose. Lana grounds the foundation of temperament therapy in Matthew 11:28–30, explaining the “well-fitting yoke” and how the right placement brings rest to the soul.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
How temperament can impact career fit, hobbies, decision-making, and responsibility
Why marriage health is often tied to understanding and meeting temperament needs
“Heart hunger” and why the world’s substitutes never satisfy
The biblical foundation for balance, rest, and alignment (Matthew 11:28–30)
How misalignment can lead to exhaustion, frustration, and spiritual drift
If you are tired, stressed, or stuck, this episode offers a framework for clarity and a path back to peace.
