Do you feel rested and at peace, or do you feel like your soul is all over the place? 

These days, many of us struggle with anxiety to some degree, and that’s what we’re talking about in this episode.

Joining me for this conversation is award-winning author and Bible teacher Tessa Afshar. Drawing from lessons she learned while battling anxiety in her own life, Tessa is sharing about a journey that cultivates a well-rested soul. I’m so glad to have her with us today, especially because her historical fiction books are some of my all-time favorite novels!

In this episode, we talk about:

• Tessa’s story of coming to faith from a Muslim background
• The connection between burnout and anxiety
• Tessa’s career as a writer 
• And more!

I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
