I Was Smiling ... But I Was Not Okay | Sadie Robertson Huff & Craig Groeschel

Whatever you're struggling with, be real with yourself, speak up, and ask for help. No more pretending you’ve got it all together. In his latest book, Heal Your Hurting Mind, Pastor Craig Groeschel opens up about his own battle with anxiety and the moment he realized he couldn’t keep it bottled up. He shares how choosing to speak up and ask for help changed everything. Sadie gets real, too — sharing a very recent moment when she was struggling badly with anxiety, had to phone a friend for help and advice, and how that vulnerable step shaped her as she stepped onto the stage at Passion. Craig reminds Sadie — and anyone out there fighting silent battles — that healing doesn’t start until we surrender, admit we can’t do it on our own, and reach out. That’s not weakness. That’s strength. And just because we feel something doesn’t mean we have to let it run the show. Our feelings are valid, but they don’t get to be the boss. We can retrain our thoughts, find real healing, and overcome. Growth is possible. Freedom is possible. And you’re not crazy for needing help. - Learn more about your ad choices.
