Summary
Anxiety is a common struggle for Christians, but it should not define them; Christ offers peace and freedom from it. This video explores how Christians can overcome anxiety by shifting their focus from self-reliance and worry to prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving, trusting in God's sovereignty and care.

| 0:00.0 | When we worry, we literally are going through the motions of prayer, but we're ripping all the power out of it. |
| 0:07.0 | We're not directing those thoughts to God and saying, hey, I'm worried about this election. |
| 0:13.0 | Hey, I'm worried about my kids. I'm worried about my infertility journey. I'm worried I'm not going to find somebody to marry. |
| 0:21.9 | Instead of directing that to God, we simply meditate on it to ourselves as if we can somehow |
| 0:28.8 | change the course of the future. |
| 0:34.6 | Welcome back to Verity Podcast friends. I'm Felicia Masonheimer, the host of Verity and the founder |
| 0:40.0 | of every woman, a theologian. I'm so excited to have you join us today, whether for the first |
| 0:44.9 | time or if you've been listening for a while. Right now we're in the middle of our beginner |
| 0:49.2 | believer series, where we talk about questions that new or returning believers in Christ are asking about their faith. |
| 0:56.0 | And when I was thinking about what we should do this week, I thought, oh, we could talk more about the theology of the gospel or sin and sanctification. |

| 1:10.0 | How about we just talk about that very personal |
| 1:12.5 | and very real struggle that so many of us who walk with Christ are facing? And so today I want to |
| 1:19.3 | share with you a little of my own process of walking with Christ through anxiety and actually |
| 1:26.1 | finding freedom from anxiety in my daily life. |
| 1:29.3 | I want to start right there because I think that some Christians come to Christianity with a fatalistic mindset that anxiety is their identity. |
| 1:39.3 | It's who they are. It's who they're always going to be. It's always going to be present with them. And I'm here to |
| 1:45.1 | tell you that Christ does bring peace. He does. However, that doesn't mean that we will never |
| 1:52.2 | struggle with anxiety again. We live in a world and a culture that is marked by a lack of peace, |
| 1:58.4 | and that is always going to be assaulting us to some degree. |
| 2:02.6 | And yet, peace is not the absence of anxiety or the temptation to anxiety or to worry. |
| 2:11.3 | Peace is the ability to trust Christ in the midst of that, to trust Christ and to release that. And so that's what I'm going to share |
