On today's episode, Trevor Tyson, founder of Fear is a Liar Co. and host of Trevor Talks Podcast, discusses the stronghold that anxiety and panic attacks have had on his life.

Trevor shares about how toxic masculinity and bullying impacted the way that he lived and approached relationships. He talks about the deep roots of insecurity that the hurtful words of others created. 

 

God doesn't intend for us to live our lives in fear or anxiety, but most of us can't just 'pray it away'. Trevor shares practical and spiritual insight to help you navigate through your anxiety and insecurities on The All the Things Podcast! 

Research indicates that when abuse victims feel like they can’t or shouldn’t talk about their experiences, their trauma can worsen.

On today's episode, Jena Gallo shares her story of sexual abuse and trauma alongside her friend, Laura McEwen, who stood beside her during the arduous healing process. 

We discuss how shame, guilt and the lies of the enemy tend to silence women from speaking the truth about their circumstances, but also how relationship, the power of God's word and putting our pain in the light can bring redemptive healing.

According to statistics, 1 in 4 women have been sexually assaulted, which means you likely know someone who has faced this alone (or may still be walking through it.) Laura's words of encouragement on what it meant to be a friend during this season, albeit not a perfect one, is an encouragement to all of us.

Chris Misterek's wife walked out on him after 10 years of marriage and two children together.

On today's episode, Chris shares candidly and vulnerably about divorce as a Christian. He discusses the stages of grief and feelings of depression and overwhelm that he experienced, along with spiritual and financial crisis. 

But God.

Chris shares about how God has turned his heart toward forgiveness for his ex-wife and now continues to help take care of her as she battles mental illness. He talks about how Christ has healed his anger and sadness and brought him clarity and joy in the thick of the pain.
