Resting in God Instead of Anxiety & Fear | Trusting God with Your Thoughts and Future

Anxiety and fear can feel overwhelming — and for many Christians, they can even feel like a failure of faith. In this episode, we talk about how to rest in God instead of anxiety, take fear’s authority away from our thoughts and decisions (through Scripture), and trust God with our future.

I’m joined by Maddie Joy Fischer, Live Original Ambassador, author, and Christian influencer and content creator, for an honest conversation about what it looks like to rely on God when fear is loud.

We explore how freedom from fear doesn’t mean you’ll never feel anxious again — but it does mean fear no longer gets to control your life.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why fear doesn’t need to have authority over you

How Scripture helps us take anxious thoughts captive instead of letting them control us

What inspired Maddie to share openly about anxiety and learning to rest in God

Why fear often holds us back from the life God is calling us to

What to do when things do go wrong — and how to trust God anyway

Encouragement for Christians who feel guilty for struggling with anxiety

How to move toward peace, joy, and the abundant life God desires for you

How to trust God when things don’t go according to plan

If you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or fear of the unknown, this episode will remind you that God is patient, present, and trustworthy — even here.
