Episode 17 (Season 3) Limits: Unraveling Anxiety
Wednesday, December 6, 2023
About the Episode:
Phil shares his journey through anxiety and how the Lord helped him unravel the source of that anxiety. As he shares, he talks about how he felt about himself from past experiences and comments and how it all came to a head with a panic attack. Through the work of a counselor and the help of the Lord, deep wounds were uncovered. Phil talks about his need to offer forgiveness to people he had never forgiven as a huge step in his recovery. His hope in the Lord through this journey allows him to share with others that hope that will go through anxiety and suffering. He has realized his limits as it relates to coming to the end of himself and turning to the Lord and others to help walk through the feelings.
