Episode When "Don’t Be Anxious" Isn’t Helping: A Faith-Filled Approach to Finding Peace | Melissa Fisher (Bonus Episode)
Do you ever find yourself replaying conversations long after they end, carrying guilt that may not belong to you, or feeling unable to quiet your mind no matter how hard you pray?
In this conversation, I sit down with licensed mental health counselor Melissa Fisher to explore a question many Christians quietly wrestle with: What if anxiety isn't simply a faith problem?
Drawing from both neuroscience and Scripture, Melissa unpacks why our minds and bodies respond the way they do to stress, worry, and relational tension. We discuss the hidden patterns that keep us stuck, the surprising role our thoughts play in shaping our emotions, and how faith and practical tools can work together rather than compete with one another.
