Do you love Jesus but still feel anxious in your body?

Do you pray and trust God, yet your chest feels tight and your nervous system feels stuck in fight-or-flight?

Have you wondered why anxiety doesn’t just disappear if your faith is strong?

In this episode of Faith Over Anxiety for Moms, we explore how anxiety affects the nervous system — not just the mind — and why Christian moms often feel overwhelmed, tense, or emotionally exhausted even when they trust God.

Using research from polyvagal theory and biblical examples from Martha (Luke 10), Gideon (Judges 6), and Jesus in the garden (Matthew 26), you’ll learn how Scripture and neuroscience align when it comes to overload, fear, and deep distress.

If you’re searching for how to calm anxiety as a Christian mom, regulate your nervous system in a faith-based way, or stop living in constant overwhelm, this episode will give you clarity and one simple, repeatable tool you can use today.

⭐️ Luke 10:38–42 (Martha and overwhelm) ⭐️ Judges 6:11–24 (Gideon and fear) ⭐️ Matthew 26:36–46 (Jesus in Gethsemane) ⭐️ Psalm 23:1
