Straight Talk With Wayne

In this episode, we delve deep into the prevalent issue of anxiety amongst believers and members of our local church. Acknowledging anxiety's reality and its impact, we explore the need to address and eradicate it not only through absolute devotion and surrender to Jesus Christ but also from a neurological perspective. Discussing the root causes of anxiety enables us a deeper understanding of how our thinking processes can lead to such emotions. Anxiety, often observed in counseling and coaching sessions, stems from three primary sources. Firstly, the decline in the reputation one has for oneself. This refers to when individuals perceive themselves to be lacking compared to previous notions about themselves. Secondly, it is the inability to draw a clear line between what an individuals can and can't control about their circumstances. Lastly, anxiety grows from unmet expectations or the fear of them not being met. Prayer, particularly repetitive and rehearsed ones, can be utilized as a tool to combat anxiety.
