What happens when your mind won't stop worrying? And what does it mean to trust God when anxiety doesn't simply disappear?
In this episode of Messy Middles, Emmanuel is joined by Meg, Joel and Ehimare for an honest and vulnerable conversation about anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts and the pressure to always be okay.
Emmanuel shares his personal experience of panic attacks while navigating life and church leadership. Meg opens up about anxiety, medication and finding support, while Joel and Ehimare reflect on anxious thoughts, the importance of community and how faith shapes their experiences.
Together, they explore some difficult questions: Can you struggle with anxiety and still trust God? Is there a place for medication and therapy in the Christian journey? And how do we find hope when healing doesn't happen overnight?
This conversation is a reminder that struggling doesn't make you a failure, asking for help isn't a lack of faith, and you don't have to face anxiety alone.
