## Resource

What does it actually look like to meet God in chaos? In this episode, we sit down with Annie VanDyke and wrestle with Philippians 4 in the middle of real battles: OCD, anxiety, and postpartum depression. How do we learn, like Paul, the secret of contentment when our minds won’t slow down and our emotions won’t cooperate? We explore what it means to cling to Christ when peace feels distant; and how the presence of God can guard your heart and mind even when nothing else makes sense. Plus, as a bonus, we preview our new sermon Series in Isaiah.
