It's 2024! We kick off the new year with this series that looks at how we deal—with ourselves, with people, with anxiety, and with shame.

Pastor Mike also mentions our brand-new resource this month, "How to Fight Anxiety With Joy" by Linda Buxa. This 28-day guide shares daily devotions filled with God’s wisdom, along with proven tips to help lessen your anxiety and stress as you learn to rejoice in God’s love no matter what circumstances you face.
