Episode description

Here’s a statistic that blew my mind: Over 49 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. And we know that so many more suffer from anxiety but have never been officially diagnosed. I am one of those. How about you? Ever had feelings of worry, fear, or dread that you can’t necessarily attach to specific circumstances?

Join me for a practical, helpful conversation with Dr. Amanda Porter who wrote this little devotional book that packs a punch, “Dear Anxiety Let’s Break Up!” She is a mental health practitioner, a lover of Jesus, and a fellow struggler in this battle with anxiety, and what she has to say could help give you the tools you need to break up with anxiety.
