When the need's so great, it's hard to think about how God could possibly use what we have to offer. But Jesus keeps it simple: just give what you've got! Whatever you have, put it in the hands of Jesus and watch him multiply it, whether that's through your job, your connections, or your finances. Ultimately giving starts with us.

Finding peace with yourself physically, chemically, and psychologically is so important, but true peace is something that only comes from God. We can live in three different places when it comes to finding peace with God: the natural person, under the rules, and under God's love. It's only under God's love that we can find true peace, true grace, true joy.

So much of our anxiety stems not from outside circumstances, but from the pressures and pitfalls within our own heads. God promises to bring us through our anxieties, but sometimes that healing process begins with admitting that we are in the dark. In order to experience the peace that God offers, we must first admit where we are in our anxiety and then be vulnerable with someone else. God desires His peace for us, but we have to make peace with ourselves first.

Listen in as Adam and Holly share more practical ways to attack back on anxiety, expanding on the 4 points Holly talked about from stage Sunday. You'll hear more of Holly and Adam's personal stories of fighting anxiety, plus gain a few more tools to use when anxiety does attack.

Anxiety is not something we have to simply endure, instead we have the ability to combat and attack it, not allowing anxiety to rule our lives anymore. Four ways to attack back on anxiety include: getting professional help, finding a friend, marinating in worship, and fighting back with Scripture. With these tools in mind you can be better equipped to attack, and we pray ultimately overcome, your battle with anxiety.

Ever felt anxious? Afraid? Worried? We've probably all been there at one time or another. But there are tools we can use to fight these battles against fear, worry, and anxiety: naming our fears and destroying the lie that we're alone in our anxiety. Once we realize those two truths we can be assured that God was handling our anxieties, long before we were worried about them.

2019 may be your year, but news flash: it's not about you! When we're the star of our own stories failure is inevitable, and when we do fail it's all on us. But when God is the center of our world, even the worst failures can be turned into victory through Him. This year let's make our lives not about us by serving those who can't give us anything in return and by rejoicing in the successes of others. This is your year, but it's not about you!

Sometimes we become overwhelmed by what we think are the countless bad things in our lives, but Jesus tells us to count the good all around us instead of focusing on the bad. The reality is, there are more good things in our lives than bad, and even in the bad God is at work. Instead of looking for the false, wrong, and ugly things this year, let's celebrate the true, right, and lovely of 2019! 

We all need people in our lives, but there's two specific types of people that we need more than any others: champions and challengers. Champions are encouragers, pushing your further in your walk with Jesus. But we need challengers too, people who aren't afraid to ask the hard questions and challenge us when we need it. Together, we truly are better. This is YOUR year, but an important question to ask is: who are you doing this year with?
