Show Notes
In this down-to-earth exploration of anxiety and faith, Sharon Edmundson gets real about finding peace when your thoughts are running wild. No "just pray more" platitudes here - instead, Sharon unpacks practical wisdom from Philippians that actually helps when anxiety kicks in.
From plotting to break her leg to avoid public speaking (spoiler: anxiety about injuries made that plan backfire) to dealing with panic attacks and health scares, Sharon shares her own journey while tackling the sometimes confusing relationship between anxiety and faith.
Key topics covered:
- Why "don't be anxious" in the Bible isn't actually a telling-off
- Three practical strategies for managing anxious thoughts
- How to handle anxiety without adding spiritual guilt
- Finding peace that makes no sense when circumstances haven't changed
During Conversation Street, Matt and Jenny dive into real questions about decision-making anxiety, the challenge of "giving worries to God," and practical ways to reshape thought patterns.
Whether you're wrestling with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers honest hope and practical help from a faith perspective that doesn't ignore the reality of mental health.
