Understanding Anxiety Through a Faith Lens

What exactly is anxiety, especially when viewed through the lens of faith? In this episode, Sarah Miller gently unpacks the experience of anxiety (differentiating it from everyday worry) and addresses common, often harmful misconceptions found in Christian circles. We'll tackle questions like "Is anxiety a sin?" or "Does it mean I lack faith?" aiming to replace shame with grace and understanding.

Key Takeaways:

• Differentiating between situational worry and more pervasive anxiety experiences.
• Normalizing the struggle by acknowledging the interplay of body, soul, and spirit.
• Gently challenging theology that induces shame around anxiety.
• Affirming that faith and anxiety can coexist.
• Reframing anxiety: Less as a moral failing, more as a signal needing compassionate attention.
