What if the power to overcome all your anxiety was already within you—without needing a single pill or external fix?
On this episode of the Marriage of Greatness podcast, Evan Money and Susan Money reveal the profound secret behind receiving a peace that truly overcomes anxiety. Using insights from scripture, personal stories, and wisdom from Graham Cooke, they unpack how “shalom” means far more than just calm—it’s holistic health, soundness, and wholeness available to everyone.
Key highlights include:
- Why you don’t need to “pray for more” peace—it’s already accessible within you
- The elevator analogy: how to consciously access gifts like peace, patience, and joy in everyday life
- Practical strategies to rise above anxiety, fear, and negative thoughts (including the power of slowing down and deep breathing)
- The connection between shame, physical symptoms, and emotional health—and why true wellness is holistic
- How embracing growth opportunities (instead of just “getting past challenges”) can transform your marriage and your life
If you’re ready to finally move from surviving stress to living from a place of wholeness, this episode is your invitation to take action—one deep breath at a time.
