It's intriguing, but God designed us with the fight or flight mechanism, a brilliant safeguard that, despite its negative perception, proves beneficial in specific scenarios.But, why does God let us undergo such suffering and anxiety? Here's where it gets interesting: Matthew 6:25-34. It turns out, such experiences can translate to His glory and our good! Join us as we share actionable ways to find Jesus in our anxious moments and the importance of seeking help – be it from a doctor, friends, or a therapist. And yes, we do address the often-shunned topic of anxiety medication, emphasizing that it doesn't render anyone less Christian.
