I’m joined by Melissa Fisher to talk about anxiety in a way that’s both practical and grounded in faith. We walk through how anxiety actually works in your body and mind, and how you can respond differently using simple, daily tools. We talk about her book, Jesus for the Anxious, and the habits that help you move from constant worry to real peace. This includes breathing techniques, renewing your thoughts with truth, and creating space for rest in a culture that keeps pushing you to do more. We also get honest about isolation and why trying to handle anxiety alone often makes it worse. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, restless, or mentally exhausted, this episode will give you clear next steps to calm your mind and reconnect with peace. Takeaways Anxiety is not just spiritual. It’s physical and mental too, so you need to address all three. Deep breathing is one of the fastest ways to calm your nervous system in the moment. What you repeatedly think shapes how you feel. Truth has to be practiced, not just known. Constant pressure and busyness fuel anxiety more than most people realize. Rest is not optional. It is part of staying mentally and spiritually healthy. Isolation makes anxiety worse. Safe, supportive relationships help regulate it. You don’t need complicated strategies. Small daily habits create real change.
