I was a pastor for almost a decade, and anxiety was absolutely everywhere.
But what scared me the most wasn't how common it was...
No, what scared me was how ACCEPTED it was.
And not just with everyone else...
I accepted my own anxiety and wrote it off as a
consequence of being a pastor,
or a husband,
or a father,
or whatever else I could think of 🤷🏻♂️
And all that anxiety acceptance was just
leading to dangerous coping mechanisms
in my own life and in others'…
🤤 numbing out
🫣 avoiding conflict
🥶 cutting people out
🫥 isolating from friends
🫠 putting on a "happy church face"
🥴 hopping from one spiritual high to another
The list goes on.
Once I finally had my own breakdown and got some serious help,
I started doing a boatload of research about
what the Bible REALLY has to say about anxiety
and other big, negative emotions
AND
what the most reliable neuroscience has discovered
about how God has wired us.
That's where Decoding Anxiety came from.
It's what I started walking people through personally as a pastor,
and what has helped me become
a more faithful and wholehearted follower of Jesus.
I'm praying that it can do the same thing for you.
