Anxiety vs. Truth: Deconstructing the Stigma to Find Relief

from Grace Flourishing · host Jessica Green

For many believers, walking into a sanctuary while battling anxiety feels like wearing a mask. We’ve been told to "just pray it away," creating a heavy stigma that suggests a racing heart is a sign of a drifting soul. But what if the truth is much more compassionate than that? In this series premiere of Anxiety in the Pews, we’re pulling back the curtain on the "Pray it Away" narrative. We move beyond the clichés to explore the intersection of our deep convictions and our biological design. You can love Jesus with your whole heart and still have a physical body that feels overwhelmed. Join us as we trade the performance of peace for the relief of the truth.
