Anxiety: Inside Out Faith: The Science and Spirituality of Emotions

About this sermon

We've all been there—lying awake at 3 AM with our minds racing through endless "what if" scenarios. In this honest conversation, Pastor Bill Gepford and Dr. Rebeca Chow explore the difference between helpful anxiety (that nudge to prepare and protect) and anxiety that shrinks our souls and keeps us from stepping into what God has called us to do. What You'll Discover: - Why anxiety loves the "what ifs" and how to break the cycle - The surprising gift anxiety can offer when it's working for us - A simple sensory technique to ground yourself when anxiety creeps in - How Joshua's pile of stones can inspire your own anxiety toolkit - Practical ways to remember you're not alone in the struggle Whether you're facing small daily worries or anxiety that feels too big to handle, this conversation offers both therapeutic wisdom and spiritual hope. Because the truth is—even in our most anxious moments, we're never walking alone. *Your Challenge:* Find something you can see, hear, or touch that reminds you of God's faithfulness. Let it be your anchor when the "what ifs" start swirling. For more resources, visit https://resurrection.church/counseling #Anxiety #MentalHealth #Faith #ChristianCommunity #Hope #Transformation
