The Collide Podcast

This episode is an invitation to come out of hiding and live a life of bold generosity, vulnerability, and purpose.

Whether fear, shame, or insecurity has kept you from fully showing up in the world, this message will stir your heart and help you identify what's been holding you back. You'll walk away encouraged to spend your one and only life not in self-protection—but for the good of others and the glory of God.

Have you ever wondered if anxiety could actually be an invitation to draw closer to God?

Author and speaker Jennifer Tucker joins Willow for an honest conversation about anxiety, faith, and letting go of the shame that can come with mental health struggles. After walking alongside her daughter through severe panic attacks and confronting her own experiences with anxiety, Jennifer began to see anxiety not as evidence of failing faith, but as an invitation to turn toward God. Together, Jennifer and Willow talk about reframing Scripture around worry, releasing parenting guilt, seeking professional support without shame, and practical tools like breath prayer and Scripture meditation that can help calm our bodies and reconnect us with God’s presence. If anxiety has ever made you wonder whether you trust God enough, this conversation offers a freeing reminder: you can love Jesus deeply, experience anxiety, and meet Him right in the middle of it.

Jennifer Tucker is an artist, author, and speaker passionate about helping people experience greater peace in the midst of anxiety. Her work grew out of her deeply personal experience walking alongside her daughter through severe anxiety and panic attacks while simultaneously confronting her own lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression.

Her bestselling book, Breath as Prayer, introduced Christian breath prayer as a powerful tool for calming the mind and soul. Her newest release, Present in Prayer, explores the transformative practice of Christian meditation, offering a framework to experience God’s presence and peace in everyday life. Her story is a powerful example of how God can meet us in our mess and transform our hearts through His Word.

• When anxiety makes you question your faith: Feeling anxious does not mean you aren't a good Christian. Jennifer encourages us to remove the shame and recognize anxiety as an opportunity to turn toward God rather than hide from Him.
• When “do not worry” feels condemning: Try changing the tone. Jennifer sees these words not as an angry command but as the reassurance of a loving Father saying, Come close. You're loved. I'm here.
• When you're carrying parenting guilt: Remember that there is no perfect equation for raising children. Jennifer has learned to acknowledge what she wishes she'd known while receiving God's grace and moving forward with what she knows now.
• When one coping strategy doesn't work: Try another. What calms one person's nervous system may make another person more anxious.
• When life is relatively calm: Build practices that anchor you now. Jennifer uses Scripture meditation as a regular rhythm so that when difficult seasons arrive, she's more deeply rooted in truth.

Jesus wants to collide with every part of your story—even the anxious, fearful, and overwhelmed places—to bring healing, peace, and freedom. That kind of healing isn’t just possible for someone else; He wants it for you, too.
