When life takes an unexpected turn — whether it’s going through a divorce or another unwanted circumstance — it can feel like survival mode is the only option. Our mental health begins to suffer, bringing increased anxiety, loneliness, and endless what-if questions. But there is hope — and this conversation with Lysa TerKeurst, Shae Hill, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Rebecca Maxwell will help you find it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How the Bible and therapy actually complement each other, rather than compete with each other.
Practical rhythms and activities for your mind that can help lead to peace.
How to take the mystery out of anxiety by knowing exactly how to recognize it.
