    When I started eating only natural whole foods, my anxiety greatly reduced! When I eat processed foods, my anxiety returns.

    I only ate natural or organic food for a year and yes it's expensive but my health did a complete 180° turn. Due to unfortunate circumstances I have been eating high processed food, lots of carbs and non organic. I feel like garbage. You are what you eat for sure.

    This is so true, we sometimes overlooked what we eat in relation to what we eat

    Anxiety is telling us something. Recognize it, sit with it, accept it, process it.

    What does the Bible say about bringing thoughts into captivity? Or do we have a choice? Paul says we do: “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5) I love this scripture when I’m going through stress a anxiety and love your pod case 🙏🏻🇺🇸

    Thank you so much for bringing this topic to Light. I love how we're to invite Christ into the anxiety, rather than to pray or medicate it away. Anxiety is rampant and my prayer is for many brothers and sisters in Christ will listen and take heed on how to walk with Christ through our anxious thoughts. This tactic of the enemy has been utilized throughout generations. With God's help, may we teach others how to bring it to Christ to help it shape and mold us so it's used as a tool to bring us nearer to the Father, not turn us away or isolate us. Blessings to all of you and I'm looking forward to the next segment!

    Thank you for sharing as I seem to be more susceptible as I age. Great point about future 'loss' as a stressor. I need to learn more and am looking forward to the next broadcast on anxiety. So thankful a friend from Bible study shared this with us.

    Oh I remember Curtis when he was pastoring at The River Church Community in the mid 2000's in San Jose. Appreciated his teachings back then. Glad to see he is helping people with this critical issue.

    I'd like to unpack more of what he says about what Paul says about anxiety in Philippians and it's meaning. I found the verse helpful in it's most literal sense, and I come from the same ethnic background and lifestyle. I get the sense that he hears something else from the words in the verse based on his family history.

    This man was very interesting but I felt the interviewer kept cutting in a lot of words where said but I am still no wiser. The speaker was talking about his extreme anxiety in that pastors roll but we never heard how he got through as the interviewer said thank you that is great ideas I never heard the ideas. Let the person who has the knowledge speak.

    There seems to be a lots of theological holes in this. 1: praying anxiety away as he states isn’t about praying our problem still away it’s about having peace that supersedes our own understanding in the midst of the suffering. I have had experiences where I pray over my anxiety, and I can’t explain the peace that I have, even though my circumstances didn’t change. 2: this might be a problem of semantics. This might be conflating the terms, worry, anxiety burdened . We can certainly see Jesus being burdened and heavy hearted in the garden but to jump to anxiety is a stretch. 3 perhaps anxiety needs to be theologically defined. I believe anxiety at its core is about the uncertainty of who is in control resulting in doubt which is in is sinful. Its doubting in God‘s goodness or his sovereignty.. we don’t see Jesus, doubting Gods authority or sovereignty or goodness in the garden. We do see him burdened but not anxious. The distinction is important… There are probably principles in the book that stand to reason about anxiety being in a normal human experience and that we should process that. But we should also be really careful not to see anxiety as a simple emotion, we all experience, and not an attack from the enemy designed to erode our faith. That is why we are commanded not to be anxious by Jesus and reminded of it by Paul and Philippians
