Why are you still anxious when God says be still? Ep 224
from Chasing Happiness with Ryan DeMent · host Ryan DeMent
Be still and know that I'm God. That's one of the most quoted verses out there and one of the least understood.This week I'm getting honest about something I've wrestled with for a long time: I don't know how to be still. My still is anxiety. Worrying about what's down the road that probably won't even happen. Asking "why is this happening" instead of asking "what is God trying to get out of me?" The moment I started asking that second question — something shifted.In this episode, I'm talking about what being still actually means in the middle of a real storm. Not a polished answer. Just what I'm living right now, a commercial deal I didn't close on my own, a tribe I'm still building, and the one thing that completely shuts my anxiety down: serving others.If you've ever stood at the bottom of the mountain wondering when it ends, this one is for you.What is your still? Drop it in the comments. No judgment, just honest people figuring it out together.You're not alone, and God is not done with you yet. Stay safe, stay healthy, and keep chasing.Chasing Happiness — Unfiltered faith for hard seasons.
