Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Dr. Rob Rhodes. In this episode they address persistent worry and anxiety, center on Philippians 4:6–7, and offer a practical, faith-forward “prescription” that blends spiritual practices, community support, counseling/medical help when needed, and everyday habits (sleep, exercise, nutrition). Learn simple tools to pause, pray, claim God’s peace, and set up regular check-ins with trusted helpers so worry doesn’t keep returning.
4 R Action Steps
- Read: Read Philippians 4:6–7.
- Reflect: When anxiety rises, pause and recall a calming memory or a favorite Bible passage; list three things you’re grateful for; ask, “What can I hand to God right now?”
- Respond (short prayer): Lord, I give you my worry. Fill me with your peace that guards my heart and mind. Help me trust and take the next right step. Amen.
- Reveal: Share Philippians 4:6–7 and one practical step you used with a friend, pastor, or counselor this week; offer to pray together or encourage scheduled check-ins for ongoing support.
