Proverbs 15:18 — being hot-tempered stirs up strife and is a sin issue, not a personality trait; being slow to anger quiets contention.

Mike challenges people who identify as 'hot-tempered by nature' or 'it's just who I am,' stating Scripture classifies this as sin nature, not good nature. The hot-tempered person accumulates broken relationships over time — friends, coworkers, family. The remedy is slowing down rather than reacting quickly and harshly.
