"Rejoice always. Do not be anxious about anything." If you've ever read those words and felt worse, this message is for you. Pastor Chris Stockhaus shares how these verses felt almost ridiculous after a hard counseling session, and why they have sometimes been used to shame people who struggle with worry.

You'll hear:

• What Paul likely meant by "The Lord is near," and why it changes the tone of the whole passage
• Why anxiety exists on a spectrum, and why getting help from a doctor or therapist is welcome
• Simple, practical ways to hand your worries to God throughout the day, from small prayers to gratitude
• Why peace is a gift you receive, not a reward you earn

Grab a pen and paper. Chris walks you through writing down your worries and turning them into prayers, right where you are.

New to faith, still searching, or just tired of worrying? You're welcome here.
