Are you feeling the weight of anxiety? Ever wondered how it intersects with your Christian faith? We've got you covered. In our enlightening discussion, we touch base on anxiety's prevalence – particularly in the wake of COVID-19. Guess what? Even biblical stalwarts like Moses, Elijah, and Jeremiah experienced anxiety! It's intriguing, but God designed us with the fight or flight mechanism, a brilliant safeguard that, despite its negative perception, proves beneficial in specific scenarios.
But, why does God let us undergo such suffering and anxiety? Here's where it gets interesting: Matthew 6:25-34. It turns out, such experiences can translate to His glory and our good! Join us as we share actionable ways to find Jesus in our anxious moments and the importance of seeking help – be it from a doctor, friends, or a therapist. And yes, we do address the often-shunned topic of anxiety medication, emphasizing that it doesn't render anyone less Christian. So gear up for an enlightening journey through the complexities of anxiety in our Christian life.
