Discovering Faith in Unexpected Places: Turning Mental and Emotional Struggles Over to Christ

This week, I'm thrilled to have Brett back on the podcast for a conversation that hit home in all the best ways. After a recent sacrament talk, Brett shares how a familiar scripture teaching—"ask and ye shall receive"—shifted for him when he applied it beyond his usual worries about jobs and finances, and instead looked inward at his ongoing struggles with anxiety and mental health. What happens when you actually hand over every struggle—including the ones that feel permanent—to Christ, and decide to trust Him completely? Brett's experience might just change the way you approach your daily battles.We dig into how acting in faith looks different when you genuinely believe Christ "has you," from journaling and reminder lists to an entirely new sense of peace that can come with this surrender. Along the way, we wrestle with questions about aligning our will to God's, navigating scrupulosity, and the parable of the talents: what does a five-talent servant really feel like? If you've ever wondered what you're still not asking for—or how to systemize your own spiritual reminders—you'll want to be part of this week's discussion.I'd love to hear: what are you carrying on your own that you could hand over to Christ? And in what ways are you scratching the surface of what's possible when you live the gospel with both faith and surrender?Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
