Anxiety is born from fear and our desire to control situations beyond our reach. In this episode, we confront anxiety at its source-- fear vs. control-- and share about breaking the cycle of anxiety.
We explore how anxiety impacts marriages, attacks individuals, and stems from feeling overwhelmed by life's uncertainties.
• Anxiety fundamentally comes from fear – fear of outcomes, others' reactions, or lack of control
• The "five-foot radius" concept helps identify what we can actually control versus what we cannot
• Even strong Christians experience anxiety; having faith doesn't automatically eliminate anxiety
• Jesus doesn't calm every storm immediately – we must actively choose to go to Him
• Asking "what is the next right thing to do?" helps break anxiety's spiral of overwhelming thoughts
• Scripture memorization plants truth in our subconscious that surfaces during anxious moments
• Exposing fears by naming them specifically helps reduce their perceived size and power
• Overcoming anxiety is a process, not a one-time fix; tools and scripture help fight ongoing battles
Join us next week as we discuss how to specifically help your partner when they're experiencing anxiety, whether in momentary situations or ongoing struggles.
