In this episode, we dive deep into a topic that is affecting millions but is often misunderstood by the church and the world alike: Anxiety. Joining this episode is my wife, Madison Carey, to share her powerful personal journey through addiction, multiple mental health diagnoses, and the overwhelming “unexplainable fear” that once clouded her life. We challenge the modern secular approach to mental health and discuss why the church has largely forfeited “care for the soul” to a $150 billion-a-year pharmaceutical industry. In this episode, we discuss:
- The History of Psychiatry: Why “care for the soul” used to be the pastor’s job.
- Brain vs. Mind: Understanding the difference between the physical organ and the immaterial personality.
- The Root of the Issue: How Madison found healing for her addiction and anxiety through the Great Physician, Jesus Christ.
- The Antidote to Anxiety: Why focusing on God’s unchanging character is the key to lasting peace.
