Welcome back to Joy Hour. This is Episode 28 and Part 3 of our temperament series with Dr. Lana Lyman. Tom opens with Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God,” and asks the real-life question: how does understanding temperament help you recognize what God is calling you to do in this season, and what does that look like on Monday, Tuesday, and the rest of everyday life?
Dr. Lana explains how God uses all five temperaments in the body of Christ, and why the kingdom needs evangelists, disciplers, builders, detail-keepers, and servants. Then they bring it home to the places it matters most: marriage, parenting, and relationships. They talk candidly about meeting needs without resentment, reducing conflict through understanding, and why many struggles aren’t “character flaws” but temperament differences that have been misunderstood.
If you want clarity for your calling and healthier relationships, this episode will give you language and direction. What changes when you stop comparing and start stewarding the wiring God gave you?
