24 May 2026 Following Jesus through Mental Health Challenges: Overcoming Anxiety & Depression with Dr. Charles Morgan

In this message from Matthew 14, Pastor Karl explores two seemingly separate events — the beheading of John the Baptist and the feeding of the five thousand — and reveals how they are deeply connected as a portrait of two contrasting kingdoms.Drawing on the parallel between Herod's banquet and Jesus's meal in the wilderness, Pastor Karl shows what sets the kingdom of the world apart from the kingdom of God: one ends in death, self-service, and corruption; the other in life, compassion, and abundance. Through the stories of Elijah, Elisha, and Moses, he demonstrates that the disciples had all the history they needed to trust Jesus in the moment — and yet, like us, they forgot.At the heart of this teaching is a simple but powerful truth: you are insufficient, but you are not useless. The kingdom of God doesn't have a supply problem — it has a distribution problem. God has never asked how much you have. He only asks what you have — and what you place in his hands, he multiplies.Discipleship, Pastor Karl argues, always involves cost, courage, compassion, commands, and cooperation. The good news is that the Good Shepherd is more than sufficient for all his sheep.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
Send us Fan MailSelf-doubt is getting louder, and it's not just a confidence problem. When your worth feels tied to comparison, followers, likes, and constant evaluation, anxiety and impostor syndrome start to feel “normal” even when something deep inside you knows it isn't. We go straight at the real issue: when you don't know who you are, you'll doubt everything you do.We talk about self-doubt as a spiritual identity crisis and why quick fixes like productivity hacks or mindset tricks can't heal a wound that's rooted in disconnection. We break down three common causes: forgetting your identity as a child of God, losing connection to the Spirit when stillness and prayer disappear, and misinterpreting struggle as proof you're failing. Through scripture and lived experience, we reframe trials as a refiner's fire, painful but purposeful, designed to strengthen rather than destroy.Then we get practical. We share simple steps for spiritual realignment: ask God directly “Who am I to you?” and listen, replace noise with stillness, act in faith before you feel ready, and learn to discern the voice in your mind because not every thought you have is true. If comparison and social media have been feeding your stress, you'll also hear a small daily challenge that can change everything.If this helped you, subscribe so you don't miss new episodes, share it with someone who needs steadiness right now, and leave a five-star review to help more people find the show.Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

Pastor Mike Haman closes out the "Overcomers" series by empowering us with spiritual tools to attack and overcome anxiety.
This week's episode is a real one.I'm talking about pitching Bizzy Bean, public speaking, and how crazy it is that in my mind I love attention and speaking… but my body reacts like I'm being hunted for sport.We get into the pressure of walking into rooms and pitching your business, the hacks I've learned for public speaking, and why I stopped trying to “act confident” and started showing up as my future self instead.I also talk about dealing with negative comments, people telling me my idea is too saturated, or straight up saying it won't work, and how easy it is to let that get in your head if you let it.Plus, how I pull myself out of a funk when I start spiraling, from movement, journaling, crying, buying myself a little treat, and learning how to reset instead of staying stuck there.Basically: how to keep building when people doubt you, and sometimes when you doubt yourself tooSupport the show

Dave and Bethlie continue their Overcoming Series with part 3 of overcoming anxiety. Do you know someone who struggles with anxiety? Be a blessing to them and send them this series. Reach out and let us know how it has been a blessing in your life and others around you. Decide it is wrong (based on the teaching of Jesus) It is wrong because the past is over and gone Healing is available for everything we face Forgiveness is essential for our wrongs It is wrong because the future is not here yet Nothing can ever be done about the future Only God knows about the future Jesus is teaching that it is wrong to allow tomorrow's problems to tear you apart today It is wrong because only God knows the future It is wrong because it damages today Today is a gift from God We should handle our emotions wisely so we can fully live for Him today Know the difference between worry and planning Planning is preparing for the future while simultaneously leaving it all in God's hands and trusting God's goodness. Worry does not plan. Anxiety assumes the worst Anxiety presumes to know outcomes Anxiety gives into our feelings rather than make an attempt to overcome them. Anxiety accepts our feelings as the norm of our life. Redirect your concerns Emotions are not wrong They are right when they are used properly according to the commands and principles of God's Word Move into Psalms They show us that emotions are real They show us that life is hard They also show us that truth trumps it all Emotional concern is the God-given ability to mobilize the forces of our bodies and minds to focus upon a problem and solve it. Anxious concern is when we focus on our problems and hang onto them. Literally all the energy is released but has it has nowhere to go This energy can even eat away at the lining of the stomach This energy leaves us feeling hopeless and helpless This energy often leads us into other issues Depression Social withdrawal Loss of sexual desire
Yesterday we looked at two types of soil Satan targets. Today, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the third: spoiled soil—a heart that isn't hard or shallow, but overcrowded. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, you'll hear how Jesus describes the seed “among thorns” as someone who hears the Word, yet becomes unfruitful because the worries of life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke spiritual growth (Matthew 13:22). The problem isn't the seed—God's Word is powerful. The problem is competition: distractions and “competing seeds” the enemy tosses into the mix to drain your focus, sap your energy, and smother your witness. Dr. Youssef challenges you to examine what's crowding your life: Is busyness strangling prayer and Scripture intake? Are anxiety and constant worry becoming a chokehold on joy? Have ambitions, comforts, or resentments become functional idols? Then comes the hope: good soil—the guarded heart that hears, understands, and produces a crop that lasts (Matthew 13:23). This devotional will help you identify what kind of “soil” you're living with right now and call you to vigilant, daily protection of God's Word so it can flourish. Prayer: Father, forgive me for the things in my life that have hindered Your Word from fully developing in me. I pray that You would nurture Your seeds of Truth in my life. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Today's my devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.
Anxiety is at an all-time high, but what if Jesus already gave us a better way to live?In this message from Matthew 6:25–34, guest speaker Landon Hairgrove walks through Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount and unpacks how to break free from the cycle of worry and step into real peace.If you've been stuck in your thoughts, carrying pressure you were never meant to carry, or trying to control outcomes in your life, this message is for you.Jesus doesn't just tell us to “stop worrying.” He shows us how to trust God, refocus our minds, and live with freedom.In this message:• Why anxiety feels productive but actually keeps you stuck• How trying to control everything leads to exhaustion• The connection between your thoughts and your peace• What it means to seek first the Kingdom of God• How to experience real freedom from anxietyYou are not alone, and you are not beyond what God can do in your life.Matthew 6:25–34If you are in Colorado Springs and looking for a church, we would love to have you join us at Trace Church.

Part 2 of this Overcoming Anxiety series begins with answering the question, what is anxiety? From Jesus' teaching Matthew 6:31 Anxiety is concern over things future It is concern over something you can do nothing about It is concern over something we cannot ever be sure about It is also concern over something that is in the past From Banner Health Someone with an anxiety disorder experiences more than just occasional worry. They often feel afraid, tense or uneasy about something with an uncertain outcome. "Symptoms of anxiety can make sleeping, focusing or completing everyday tasks difficult," Dr. Brenner Freeman (MD, Psychiatrist) said. "Some people may notice racing thoughts that make it hard to concentrate, while others feel tension in their muscles, rapid heartbeat or stomach problems." What anxiety might look like in: Children: Trouble with transitions, clinginess or tantrums Teens: Avoiding school, withdrawing socially and excessive worry about fitting in Adults: Irritability, difficulty concentrating or pulling back from work and relationships Aside: This seems to be rather normal for almost every child, teen, and adult. Which leads to the question - What do we do about it as Christians? Overcoming anxiety Decide it is wrong (based on the teaching of Jesus) Healing is available for everything we face Forgiveness is essential for our wrongs Nothing can ever be done about the future Only God knows about the future Jesus is teaching that it is wrong to allow tomorrow's problems to tear you apart today Today is a gift from God We should handle our emotions wisely so we can fully live for Him today It is wrong because the past is over and gone It is wrong because the future is not here yet It is wrong because only God knows the future It is wrong because it damages today
Send a textIn this message from Matthew 6:25-34, Jesse explores the reality of anxiety in our fallen world—something we all face, whether from global uncertainties, daily pressures, or even joyful but intense moments like childbirth. Drawing from Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, he reminds us that worry doesn't add to our lives but robs us of peace. Through vivid examples of birds fed by our Heavenly Father and lilies clothed in greater beauty than Solomon, Jesus calls us to reject anxious striving and instead trust God's sovereign care. The antidote? Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness—prioritizing faith, obedience, prayer, loving others, and living under Christ's lordship. When we do, God promises to provide all we truly need. The sermon closes with practical keys to a "healthy anxiety": knowing our Heavenly Father, remembering our life belongs to Christ, acknowledging His provision, cultivating contentment, and being anxious for what truly matters—faithfulness in advancing His kingdom.A timely encouragement to cast our cares on Him and seek first the Kingdom.Appreciate this content?

Why does life feel heavier as a society becomes more “advanced”? The Bible answers with startling clarity. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef opens Genesis 11:1–9 and the Tower of Babel—where humanity tried to build a future without God, chasing self-glory instead of surrender. That ancient defiance isn't just history; it mirrors what we see across the modern West: a culture bowing to materialism, moral relativism, and political correctness—then reaping confusion, anxiety, and loneliness. But God didn't leave humanity without a light. Dr. Youssef points to Abraham, a man living in the “City of Man” while longing for the City of God—“a city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God” (Hebrews 11:10). Abraham's faith didn't ignore darkness; it overcame it. And God's promise to Abraham didn't end with him—through his line came Jesus Christ, the Savior who purchased our eternal home by His blood (Genesis 12:3). If you're weary from the headlines or discouraged by cultural decline, this devotional will help you lift your eyes and live with steady hope—setting your mind where Christ is and where history is headed.

This powerful message confronts one of the most universal struggles we face: anxiety. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34, we're invited into Jesus' radical teaching about worry and trust. The sermon challenges us to examine what truly drives our lives—is it the relentless pursuit of security through money, possessions, and control, or is it trust in God's provision? Through the beautiful imagery of birds and flowers, we're reminded that God cares for creation with such attention that surely He cares even more deeply for us. But this isn't naive optimism—the message acknowledges real hardship, real financial struggles, and real mental health challenges. Instead, it offers a transformative reframing: our anxiety reveals where we've placed our trust. The call isn't to stop caring or planning, but to redirect our primary concern toward God's kingdom. When we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, we're promised that everything else will be provided. This includes four practical tools for retraining our anxious minds: focused prayer meditation, fasting as vulnerability training, confessional community, and professional mental health support. The freedom Jesus offers isn't freedom from responsibility, but freedom from the crushing weight of believing we're alone in carrying life's burdens.

Send a textWhat if taking your thoughts captive isn't just biblical wisdom—but something that actually changes your brain?In this episode, Patricia Holbrook is joined by Dr. Lee Warren, neurosurgeon, pastor, and author of The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, to explore the powerful intersection of faith, neuroscience, and emotional healing.Dr. Warren explains how repeated thoughts shape the brain over time—and why anxiety, fear, grief, and discouragement can become mental ruts. Together, they unpack what Scripture means when it calls us to take every thought captive, and how intentionally replacing lies with truth can lead to real transformation.If you're familiar with Patricia's book Twelve Inches, you'll recognize this theme immediately: the gap between what we know about God and how we feel and live it out. This episode brings scientific clarity to that spiritual bridge, showing why knowing the truth doesn't always translate into feeling free—and how that can change.
Questions about this episode? Want to interact with Drew, Josh, and other members of the Disordered audience? Check out the Disordered Community Space!https://disordered.fm/community-------This episode of Disordered explores the vital role of attention in anxiety recovery. Josh and Drew discuss the core skill of moving your attention while feeling high levels of fear.Many people struggling with anxiety disorders feel their attention is glued to symptoms or intrusive thoughts. Josh describes this as "threat-induced attention," which is a survival mechanism where the brain locks onto perceived danger. You always have agency over your attention. Recovery involves building an "attention muscle" to acknowledge the fear and choose a different focus.Confidence in Attention: Josh shares a personal breakthrough where he felt a massive adrenaline rush on a bus but chose to read a newspaper anyway. This desensitization happened because he trusted his ability to move his attention despite the discomfort.The "Checking State" Trap: Drew explains that many common calming techniques backfire. If you use them to force anxiety away, you end up hyper-focusing on your internal state to see if they worked. This keeps you trapped in the threat cycle.Facing the "Bear": Using a metaphor of a bear in a campsite, the hosts explain that looking away from the anxiety tells the brain the emergency is over. Staring at the anxiety only confirms to your nervous system that you are still under threat.Practical Application: Whether going to the dentist or taking a train, the goal is to move attention toward meaningful tasks rather than internal monitoring."The only way to show the brain and the amygdala that this isn't a threat is to show it with our attention... that this isn't important." — Josh"We cannot operate directly on your anxiety... we can only operate on the way you interact with it." — DrewBuilding confidence in your attention is a gradual process rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Metacognitive Therapy. It requires bravery to look away from the fear to find the path to long-term psychological flexibility.

If you have ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight or confused about why traditional treatments have not fully worked, this episode will change the way you understand anxiety and yourself.We dig into conversations around anxiety and panic healing, with tangible tips you can apply to feel more grounded and in control.xo, Tay⸻THORNE Emotional Balance Support: https://a.co/d/01hfedLY Source Naturals Saffron Extract for Mood Support & Anxiety: https://amzn.to/45XyPxP⸻Follow Dr. Nicole!

What if resilience isn't about being the toughest person in the room, but the most surrendered? In this conversation, Candace and author/artist Ruth Chou Simons continue their Overcoming Anxiety series by exploring a deeply biblical, spiritually honest approach to resilience. Ruth shares why her husband Troy embodies resilience—not because life is easy, but because he treats every failure as “an opportunity to grow.” Candace reflects on her own journey, including public criticism and misunderstood motives. Together, they break down a countercultural truth: being resilient is less about muscling through and more about walking closely with God. They talk openly about long seasons when Bible reading felt dry or inconsistent, how daily Scripture functions as a slow deposit rather than a quick emotional transaction, and why spiritual disciplines (Bible, prayer, rest, Sabbath) are God's training plan for endurance. Candace shares how James 1 and the parable of the talents steadied her through some of her hardest public seasons. Ruth vulnerably opens up about losing a long-time ministry partner and the grief, confusion, and rerouting that followed. The episode closes with two tender listener questions—one from 17-year-old Inga about finding time with God before early mornings, and one about learning to hear God in a world full of distractions. If you've ever felt worn thin, spiritually tired, or unsure how to keep going, this episode offers companionship, Scripture, and a fresh way to see resilience through the lens of surrender.Connect with Candace and Ruth Candace on Instagram @candacecbure Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Follow Ruth Chou Simons on Instagram: @ruthchousimons Website: https://ruthchousimons.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RuthChouSimons Sponsors For This Episode -Grand Canyon University: https://www.gcu.edu/ -Operation Christmas Child SamaritansPurse.org/occ -A'Del Natural Cosmetics https://adelnaturalcosmetics.com/ -IFCJ ifcj.org-Mr. Pen: http://candacepens.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
