    73 | Can’t Quiet Your Brain? 3 Ways to Stop the Mental Noise and Come Back to the Present

    Does your brain seem to get louder the second things around you get quiet? Do you find yourself physically present with your kids, but mentally thinking about tomorrow, replaying yesterday, or trying to remember everything you still need to do? Do you want to stop overthinking and feel more grounded in the moment you are actually living? In this episode, we’re talking about the mental noise so many anxious moms experience and why trying to force yourself to “stop thinking” usually isn’t the answer. We’ll look at what psychology says about attention, repetitive thinking, and working memory, while also looking at what Jesus teaches us about being worried and distracted by many things and carrying tomorrow before it gets here. You’ll also hear a real-life example from my own motherhood, when the mental noise gets especially loud while I’m rocking my 3-year-old, and practical ways I’m learning to come back to the moment God has actually given me. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ How to notice when your brain has moved into planning, worrying, replaying, or worst-case-scenario thinking ⭐️ Why naming what your mind is doing can create space between you and the thought instead of automatically following it ⭐️ What Matthew 6 and the story of Martha in Luke 10 teach us about moving from tomorrow back to today and from “many things” back to one thing ⭐️ How to use a physiological sigh, your five senses, and gratitude to ground yourself in what is actually happening right now ⭐️ How a simple brain dump can help get the mental checklist out of your head so you can decide what actually deserves your attention next 🎉 EPISODE 75 GIVEAWAY 🎉 To celebrate 75 episodes of Faith Over Anxiety for Moms, I’m doing a special giveaway as a thank-you to YOU for listening, sharing the podcast, and allowing me to be a small part of your week.

    72 | Feel Anxious All the Time? What Isaiah 61 Teaches Us About Staying Rooted Through Anxiety

    Do you feel like anxiety can take over your thoughts before you even realize it? Are you tired of worrying about your kids, overthinking what could go wrong, or feeling like you should be “further along” in your faith by now? What if the goal isn’t to become a mom who never feels anxious…but to become so deeply rooted in God that anxiety no longer gets to determine how you respond? In this episode, we’re digging into Isaiah 61 and the beautiful picture of God’s people becoming “great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory.”  An oak can experience wind without being uprooted. And maybe that’s what God is growing in you too.  We’ll talk about what this passage meant in its original context, how Jesus fulfills its promise, and what it can teach us about anxiety, healing, growth, and rebuilding. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ What Isaiah 61 means and why its original context makes the promise of restoration even more powerful ⭐️ Why feeling anxious doesn’t mean you’re failing at trusting God ⭐️ How becoming an “oak of righteousness” gives us a different picture of spiritual growth ⭐️ Why slow progress with anxiety doesn’t mean you aren’t growing ⭐️ Practical ways to interrupt anxious spirals, reject shame, deepen your roots in God, and begin rebuilding old patterns Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Faith Over Anxiety for Moms on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: bit.ly/faithoveranxietyemails JOIN THE FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY 💜 Search Anxiety Help for Christian Moms in Facebook Groups, or JOIN HERE: bit.ly/anxietyhelpformoms Next Steps: Step 1: Follow the show so you don't miss new episodes every Monday and Thursday.

    71 | Why Does God Let Me Go Through Hard Things? 3 Biblical Ways to Trust God When Life Hurts

    Have you ever prayed for something to change and wondered why God hasn’t moved? Do you know God is good, but still struggle to understand why He allows painful things? How do you trust God when you desperately want answers, certainty, or a different outcome? After hearing Jet Trouble’s song I Need You and learning that it was written out of the pain of walking through his father’s battle with ALS, I was reminded of how deeply this tension has shown up in my own life—especially through the loss of my sister. You can love God and still have questions. You can believe He is good and still wish He had answered differently. You can trust Him and still hurt. Today, we’re looking at what Scripture teaches us about bringing our real emotions to God, anchoring ourselves in who He is when life feels uncertain, and surrendering what we cannot control while inviting God to work in us through the hard season. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why honest, raw prayers are not a lack of faith—and what Psalm 13 teaches us about bringing our pain directly to God ⭐️ How to stop adding shame to your anxiety by telling God what you are actually feeling ⭐️ Why your circumstances may change, but God’s character does not ⭐️ How anxiety tries to find safety through certainty and control—and what biblical surrender looks like instead ⭐️ A simple way to pray when you don’t understand what God is doing: “God, what do You want to do in me while I wait?” Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Faith Over Anxiety for Moms on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: bit.ly/faithoveranxietyemails JOIN THE FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY 💜 Come join Anxiety Help for Christian Moms, where we take what we’re learning on the podcast and actually live it out together through Scripture, practical tools, encouragement, and conversations with other Christian moms who get it.

    70 | What Are You Speaking Over Your Life? 3 Ways Your Words Can Fight Anxious Thoughts

    Do you catch yourself saying, “Something bad is going to happen” before anything has even happened? Does one little thing—your child coughing, your husband not answering his phone, or a packed week ahead—send your mind straight into the worst-case scenario? Do you want to stop letting the what-ifs run your thoughts and learn how to trust God even when you don’t know what happens next? In this episode, we’re talking about the words we speak when we’re anxious and how those words can either reinforce the fear we’re already feeling or help us come back to what is actually true. I’m sharing a recent moment when my own mom anxiety had me living five steps into a future that hadn’t happened yet. We’ll also look at what Scripture says about our words and thoughts, plus some of the psychology behind why naming our fears and challenging our first anxious interpretation can be so helpful. It’s about recognizing when anxiety is doing the talking and choosing to stand on what God says is true.  In this episode, we talk about: How your words can reinforce the anxious thoughts you’re already rehearsing The difference between acknowledging a real fear and allowing anxiety to predict the future One question to ask yourself when your mind immediately jumps to the worst-case scenario How Philippians 4:8 and Psalm 56:3 can help you come back to what is true How to speak God’s truth and take the next faithful step…even when you still feel anxious Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts: Faith Over Anxiety for Moms on Apple Podcasts   Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: bit.ly/faithoveranxietyemails   JOIN THE FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY 💜 Come join Anxiety Help for Christian Moms, where we take what we’re learning on the podcast and actually live it out together through Scripture, practical tools, encouragement, and conversations with other Christian moms who get it.

    69 | Why Do I Overthink Everything? How Past Wounds Can Fuel Anxiety and Keep Your Mind on High Alert with Beth Steigerwalt

    Do you feel like your brain is constantly scanning for what could go wrong? Do you find yourself overthinking everything—even when you know logically that you’re okay? Have you ever wondered if experiences from your past could be contributing to the anxiety you’re experiencing as a mom today? Mama, sometimes the anxiety we’re experiencing today has roots that go deeper than the situation right in front of us. In this episode, I’m joined by Beth Steigerwalt, host of the globally top 5% podcast Heal Depression with God, Certified Christian Life Coach, writer, mom of five, grandma, childhood trauma survivor, and breast cancer survivor. Beth knows what it’s like to be a worried and anxious mama who feels overwhelmed, depressed, and unsure of her worth. In some of her darkest moments, God met her with His love—and today, she helps Christian women with past trauma and depression grow in confidence in their God-created design and believe that they are deeply loved. We’re talking about the connection between past wounds, anxiety, and overthinking, why your mind may feel like it always has to be prepared for something bad to happen, and what healing can look like when you stop simply trying harder to make the anxiety disappear. If you want to understand what may be happening underneath your anxious thoughts, quiet some of the constant mental noise, feel more present with your family, and experience more of the security that comes from knowing you are loved by God, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: How past wounds can continue influencing anxiety, fear, and overthinking today Why your mind and body may stay on high alert even when there isn’t an immediate threat Recognizing the lies, shame, and beliefs that can keep you stuck in anxious thought patterns Practical ways to begin healing instead of simply trying harder to stop feeling anxious How God’s love can help you grow in confidence, security, and your God-created identity Connect with Beth Steigerwalt: Listen to Beth’s Podcast: Heal Depression with God Website: bethsteigerwalt.com Email: hello@bethsteigerwalt.com Facebook: Connect with Beth on Facebook LinkedIn: Connect with Beth on LinkedIn Join Beth’s Natural Healing Newsletter: Sign up for the Natural Healing Newsletter Resource Mentioned in This Episode: The Search for Significance by Robert S.

In this episode, we talk about: How starting your morning with God can help you begin the day feeling more grounded instead of immediately reacting to everything around you Why pausing, slowing your breathing, and moving your body can help when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or overstimulated Practical ways to fit movement into motherhood—even if you only have 10–20 minutes How journaling, brain dumping, and choosing your top three priorities can help reduce the mental load Simple ways to practice gratitude, improve your nighttime wind-down, and stay connected to people who can help carry the load Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!

    67 | Can’t Stop Expecting the Worst? How to Calm Anxious Thoughts with Lamentations 3

    Does your mind immediately jump to the worst-case scenario when your child feels sick, your husband doesn’t answer his phone, or something unexpected happens? Do you know God is with you but still struggle to stop rehearsing everything that could go wrong? Are you trying to carry tomorrow’s possible problems with the strength God has given you for today? Mama, anxiety is really good at bringing frightening possibilities to mind—but sometimes our minds need help remembering what is still true about God. In this devotional episode, we’re opening Lamentations 3 and looking at one small but powerful word: yet. You’ll learn how to acknowledge your fear without allowing it to become the only voice you hear. Because hope doesn’t always begin when your circumstances change. Sometimes hope begins when you remember who God is. In this episode, we talk about: Why honestly pouring out your fear to God is not a failure of faith How the word “yet” can become a turning point in an anxiety spiral What God’s new mercies mean when yesterday’s worries still feel heavy Why you don’t need tomorrow’s strength for the day you are living now How to use the four-step “Yet Reset” when your mind expects the worst Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts: Faith Over Anxiety for Moms on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: Receive weekly biblical encouragement, simple tools for anxious thoughts, and new episode updates.

    66 | Feeling Anxious and Far From God? 3 Spiritual Disciplines to Grow Closer to Him

    Do you love God but still find yourself wondering why you feel so anxious? Are you praying and reading your Bible but still feeling disconnected or far from God? Do you want to grow closer to God, but you're already overwhelmed and don't need another list of things you “should” be doing? Mama, spiritual disciplines aren't about adding more to your Christian to-do list. They're intentional rhythms that create space for you to be with God and allow Him to form you. In this episode, we're breaking spiritual disciplines into three simple groups so you can discover what your relationship with God may need in this season. We'll also talk about why these practices can be especially helpful for an anxious mind...and why the answer may not be doing more for God, but learning how to remain with Him. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ What spiritual disciplines actually are—and why they aren't another Christian checklist ⭐️ Spiritual disciplines that help you hear and know God, including Scripture reading, Bible study, meditation, prayer, and journaling ⭐️ How silence, solitude, Sabbath, rest, fasting, and worship can help an overstimulated, anxious mom slow down and be with God ⭐️ Why community, fellowship, confession, service, and generosity are an important part of spiritual formation ⭐️ How to choose ONE spiritual discipline to practice based on where you're feeling spiritually depleted right now Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!
