    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!

    65 | Scared Something Will Happen to Your Child? What My Daughter’s Food Allergy Is Teaching Me About Anxiety and Trusting God

    Do you ever find yourself thinking, “What if something happens to my child?” Do you struggle to know when you’re being a wise, protective mom versus when anxiety is asking you to control every possible outcome? Have you ever prayed for God to change something your child is facing and wondered, “God, why haven’t You taken this away yet?” In this episode, I’m sharing a very real season we’re walking through with my daughter’s severe egg allergy and her recent baked egg challenge. For years, we avoided egg—not only because of the legitimate medical risk, but because an earlier baked egg challenge had been incredibly stressful for both of us. Now, with guidance from her allergist and support from her therapist, we’re slowly taking the next step. And Mama, this process is teaching me so much about anxiety, wisdom, control, and what it actually looks like to trust God when the thing you’re afraid of involves your child. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ How to recognize the difference between protecting your child and trying to control every outcome ⭐️ Why anxiety often asks for certainty that motherhood simply cannot give us ⭐️ How having a clear plan can help both you and your child move through fear in smaller, more manageable steps ⭐️ What Jochebed’s story in Exodus 2 teaches us about using wisdom while still surrendering what we cannot control ⭐️ How to keep trusting God—even when you’re still afraid, still waiting, and still praying for Him to change the situation Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!

    64 | Why Am I So Overwhelmed When I Have So Much to Be Grateful For? Mom Guilt, Anxiety & Gratitude

    Have you ever caught yourself thinking... "Why am I so overwhelmed when I have so much to be grateful for?" Maybe you love your family, know God has been so good to you, and genuinely feel thankful... but you're also exhausted, overstimulated, anxious, and carrying the invisible mental load of motherhood. If you've ever felt guilty for struggling because you think you "should" be more grateful, this episode is for you. Today we're diving into 2 Corinthians 4, where Paul reminds us that we are fragile clay jars carrying the treasure of Christ. God never expected us to be the source of our own strength—His power was always meant to sustain us. We'll also talk about the difference between using gratitude to shame yourself and using gratitude to draw closer to God, plus I'll share a simple three-step practice that's been helping me when anxiety and overwhelm start to rise. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why being overwhelmed doesn't automatically mean you're ungrateful ⭐️ The biblical meaning of 2 Corinthians 4:7–8 and what it teaches us about God's strength in our weakness ⭐️ Why your nervous system can feel overwhelmed even when you're genuinely thankful ⭐️ The difference between guilt-based gratitude and gratitude that grounds you in God's presence ⭐️ A simple "Both. Pause. Release." practice to help calm anxious, overwhelmed moments Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!

    63 | Can’t Stop Believing the Lies Anxiety Tells You? How to Use God’s Word to Fight Back

    Does anxiety ever tell you something so many times that you start believing it must be true? Do you find yourself spiraling into thoughts like, Something bad is going to happen to my kids, I can’t handle this, or I need to figure this out right now? What if, instead of arguing with those anxious thoughts or following them down the rabbit hole, you learned how to answer them with what God says is true? In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful tools God has given us when fear and anxious thoughts get loud: His Word. In Ephesians 6, Paul describes the armor of God—and the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. Then, in Matthew 4, Jesus actually shows us what it looks like to use that sword. Every time the enemy tempted Him with a lie, Jesus responded with Scripture: “The Scriptures say…” Mama, we can learn to do the same thing. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why God’s Word is called the sword of the Spirit in Ephesians 6 ⭐️ How Jesus responded to Satan’s temptations with Scripture in Matthew 4 ⭐️ How to recognize what anxiety and fear are actually telling you instead of automatically believing every thought ⭐️ How to find a Bible verse that speaks truth against the fear you’re facing ⭐️ How to turn Scripture into a simple prayer you can pray when anxiety starts spiraling Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!

    61 | Why “Just Trust God” Isn’t Calming Your Anxiety—3 Ways to Stop Overthinking and Find Peace

    Do you keep telling yourself to “just trust God” but still find your mind spiraling into all the what-ifs? Are you constantly trying to figure out what might happen next so you can make sure your kids and family will be okay? Do you want to stop overthinking and actually feel peaceful, even when you don't know how a situation is going to turn out? In this episode, we're digging into Malachi 3:6–15 and what this passage can teach us about anxiety, control, and what it actually looks like to trust God when life feels uncertain. We'll talk about why your anxious brain wants predictability, why trusting God doesn't mean you'll never feel anxious again, and how to anchor yourself to God's unchanging character when your circumstances keep changing. I'll also walk you through my simple routine that you can use the next time your brain starts racing ahead into all the what-ifs. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why uncertainty can trigger anxiety, overthinking, Googling, checking, and reassurance-seeking ⭐️ What “I am the LORD, and I do not change” in Malachi 3:6 means for an anxious mom ⭐️ Why overcoming anxiety isn't about never worrying again—but learning how to return to God sooner ⭐️ How to recognize when you're trying to control an outcome instead of trusting God with it ⭐️ The Unchanging Anchor Routine to help you stop the spiral, release what you're gripping, and come back to what's true Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!

    60 | Can’t Stop Worrying After Your Child Gets Hurt? 3 Ways to Calm Mom Anxiety and Trust God

    Has something scary happened to your child, and even after you knew they were okay, your body still felt on high alert? Do you keep replaying what happened and wondering why your anxious brain just won’t let it go? How can you be an attentive mom without letting fear, overthinking, and the what-ifs steal the joy of watching your kids be kids? After one of my daughters was stung by a bee and my other daughter had a scary fall at the playground just days later, I noticed something: even after I knew my girls were okay, my nervous system hadn’t gotten the message yet. My brain kept replaying what happened, and I could feel myself wanting to become more watchful and more in control. So what do we do when the scary moment is over, but our anxiety is still hanging around? Today, we’re looking at Psalm 56:3—“But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.” We’ll talk about why your brain may stay on high alert after something scares you, why trusting God doesn’t require certainty, and practical ways to bring your mind and body back to the present. In this episode, we talk about: ⭐️ Why your brain may replay a scary moment with your child ⭐️ How your nervous system responds after something frightening happens ⭐️ How to recognize when you’re moving from being attentive into hypervigilance ⭐️ Why seeking complete certainty can keep the anxiety cycle going ⭐️ Psalm 56:3 and what it teaches us about fear and trusting God ⭐️ How praying out loud can help you slow down and turn your attention toward God ⭐️ How to come back to what is actually true in the present moment Contact Rachel: Email: hello@faithoveranxietyformoms.com Listen on Apple Podcasts Become a Faith Over Anxiety Email Insider: SIGN UP HERE!
