Going Deeper: When You're Anxious and Affraid (with Austin Payne)

About this episode

The episode discusses how to confront fear and anxiety through faith and the presence of God as highlighted in Psalm 46.

When fear and anxiety feel overwhelming, Psalm 46 reminds us that God is not distant from our trouble—He is present in the middle of it. This message looks at what it means to bring our fear honestly before God and discover that peace comes not from control, but from knowing Him in the shaking. Anxiety is not the opposite of faith; it is often exactly where faith begins.
