The lie that is tackled today is "It All Depends On Me!" Our failures often arise because we believe the lie that everything won't get done unless WE do it. As a helpmeet we know it's our responsibility to be a helper, but God desires to be a help to the helper. We just need to let God do His job in our life. 

Today's guest speaker is Faith Gelsthorpe, co-founder of LOST History Tours.

As a young person, I really struggled with insecurities. I second guessed myself for everything. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self how much value that God saw in me instead of looking for validation from everyone else or in all the ways I could push myself to be better in order to prove my worth.

There were many lies I believed even of God and His Word that were also not true.

I hope this lesson encourages you to dig deeper into who God says you are and your worth in Him. There are passages I meditate on constantly! Ephesians 1, Psalm 139, and Romans 8  are chapters I listen to often that help me have the right mind set.

Join Crystal as she wraps up our topic of anxiety. She highlights the difference between worry and anxiety, and she acknowledges that Christians are sometimes guilty of only looking at the spiritual side of it when there are other contributing factors. Then she tackles the hard work of getting our minds "unstuck" when we have allowed worrisome thoughts to make "ruts" in our brains. It won't be easy, but God has already given us the victory and His peace that passes all understanding!

Prayer + Right Thinking = Peace

Anxiety wastes our time, steals our peace, and if we’re honest, puts us in rebellion against God’s clear command to “be careful for nothing” (Philippians 4:6). In this episode, Quortney digs into the irrational nature of worry, what Scripture says about it, and how choosing trust over fear is the only logical and biblical response. She even shares her own real life story of overcoming a long held fear of flying and how God’s sovereignty gave her perfect peace.

If you’ve ever battled anxious thoughts or excused worry as “just how I am,” this episode will challenge you, convict you, and point you back to the God who promises peace that passes all understanding.

✨ In today’s podcast, Charity walks you through three biblical steps to overcome anxiety and discover the peace that only God can give.

3 Biblical Steps for Overcoming Anxiety

Seek Godly Counsel – Turn first to God in prayer and His Word. Surround yourself with godly mentors and wise counsel who point you back to truth. (Proverbs 11:14, Psalm 119:165)

Heed Godly Counsel – Take the next right step in obedience, even when it feels small. Peace comes after faithful action. (Genesis 6:22)

Replace Worry with God’s Word – Trade fearful thoughts for God’s promises. Memorize, pray, and trust His Word daily. (Genesis 9:13–17, Colossians 3:15)

Verses to Memorize: One for Each Day of the Week

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

I Peter 5:7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

In honest, I’m not a doctor or a licensed counselor, and in no way I’m saying you may or may not need that help also. I’m sharing my experience, and how God used Scripture, prayer, worship, and thanks (with a more holistic lifestyle) to heal my anxiety. 

I hope this episode will encourage you in the battle for your mind with anxiety. I love you, and I’m praying that you find the peace that God brings through the power of His Word.

What a way to end the book of Philippians!

Paul wrote Philippians from PRISON, and yet he talks more about joy and peace than anything else. 

If he can do that from a cell, we can learn to do it from our laundry piles and carpool lines.

This episode will remind you that peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances…
it’s found in the God who rules them.
