    Overcoming Fear: A Biblical and Psychological Perspective

    Send us Fan Mail  Do you find yourself struggling with fear but trying to handle it on your own? Do you hesitate to seek help because you worry that others might see you as weak—or that asking for help could be perceived as a lack of faith?  My guest for today is Karen Juliet Martinez. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Fair Oaks, California with over 14 years of experience helping adults overcome emotional barriers, heal from past experiences, and build healthier relationships. Her passion for this work began through her own journey of healing, which inspired her to dedicate her life to helping others discover hope and lasting change.  She is offering In-person sessions in Fair Oaks, CA. and Telehealth throughout California.   Content note: At the beginning of our conversation, Karen recalls asking herself, “What is the point of this life?” If this subject may be upsetting or triggering for you, please take care while listening and consider reaching out to someone you trust or a qualified mental health professional for support. Listener discretion is advised.  Scripture Passage: Psalm 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David. 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2     He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3     He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness     for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,     I will fear no evil, for you are with me;     your rod and your staff,     they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me     in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil;     my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me     all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord     forever.

    His Peace, Not the World's

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Digging Deep for Treasures, Cecille shares a personal reflection on how caregiving for her sick brother and 94-year-old father deepened her faith rather than drained it. Drawing from John 14:27, she explores the difference between the world's fragile peace and the lasting peace Jesus offers. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by responsibility, anxiety, or the competing voices of fear and doubt, this encouraging message will remind you that Christ's peace is available even in life's most demanding seasons. Verses of the Week John 14:27  "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
