    Episode 28: A Very Helpful Anxiety Worksheet

    If you have ever seen a child without a care in the world, we all secretly envy the child's blissful joy and peace. In this episode, I share about a great Anxiety Worksheet created by Tim Bryant from the Lowcountry Biblical Counseling Center (used with permission). This worksheet can be so helpful in not only recording things were are concerned/anxious about, but also deciding what is God's responsibility to take of and our responsibility. This simple exercise has the potential to greatly aid your battle with anxiety and make it possible to take one baby step closer to the joy and peace children with an all powerful Father can enjoy!  For sermons by Rev.

    Episode 26: How do We Have the Capability to Be Anxious?

    Though the question might sound strange, have you ever considered how are we able to be anxious in the first place? In this episode, we unpack this question and look at both the negative ways our flesh uses this capability against us and how we can use it to battle our anxiety. We will also look at a powerful tool God has provided us to combat the anxiety that resides in all of our hearts. For sermons by Rev.

    Episode 25: Anxiety about Losing Your Job or Income - Part 2

    In addition to all the Scriptural encouragement we looked at last time, we look at several additional passages that can help us address what is going on in our heart. Admittedly, this is not a silver bullet, but rather addressing heart issues that might be driving your anxiety underneath the surface. Phil. 4:11-13 explores the issue of contentment. Learning to become content is no easy task, but has the ability to have an incredible impact on evaporating our anxiety because we are at peace being content in whatever situation the Lord has ordained for us at this season of our lives. Another strategy is to lift our eyes to eternity and remember that regardless of the outcome, this is a short-lived problem. We will be in the presence of God eternally before we know it.

    Episode 24: Anxiety about Losing Your Job or Income

    There are so many situations that can cause us to fear that we might lose our job or at least lose some income. Has this caused you anxiety in the past or maybe even right now? In this episode, we look at some great passages that can begin to shift our perspective to realize that it is not we who are ultimately providing income, but God who is generously and faithfully providing for our needs. We'll unpack passages like Matthew 6:25–27, Proverbs 17:3, Proverbs 25:4, and Romans 8:28 to see how the all-sufficient Word of God addresses every need we have. For sermons by Rev.

    Episode 23: Perfectionism, Anxiety & the Holidays

    The holiday season has quite a way of triggering anxiety for many people. In this episode, we address one trigger for anxiety in general (perfectionism) and how it can present itself at Christmas. A major issue in perfectionism is having unrealistic expectations for ourselves, our homes, and everything. We expect what will only happen in Heaven and then we are anxious trying to attain what is impossible. Having realistic expectations can greatly decrease our anxiety during the holidays and all year long. As I explain in this episode, I will be taking a one month break for the month of January and Lord willing, will begin in February. At the end of the episode, I summarize all the episodes from episode 5 - 22. Hopefully the summary will help those new to the podcast to choose where to go back to during January. If you've been with us the whole time, hope the review is helpful to you as well. See you in February! For sermons by Rev.

    Episode 22: Strategies to Match the Temptation

    Doctor's have a variety of strategies to treat someone with a broken ankle--from a cast & crutches, to a boot and finally a brace. The question is do you have a variety of strategies for addressing your anxiety that match the severity of the anxiety? In this episode, we discuss the importance of understanding trigger situations, people, and even times of day and preemptively using strategies to head off the anxiety even before it comes. A helpful resource can be my Anxiety First Aid Kit. For sermons by Rev.

    Episode 21: Verbalize Your Anxiety

    There are many reasons it is hard for us to verbalize our anxiety, even to others we trust. Today, we identify many of those obstacles and discuss the importance of not leaving the battle just in our head and telling someone we trust, allowing them to help us to sift through our anxious thoughts and emotions. This naturally highlights the importance of being involved in a church with authentic Christian community where we can allow people to see us at our worst with the confidence that they will still love us.
