In this episode, we have a very honest & real conversation about mental health, anxiety, and walking with God through it all with my friend Stacey Stark. Stacey shares her testimony of wrestling with God through intense seasons of stress and loss in her life, leading to anxiety and panic attacks that she has battled for years. We talk about the important role that God's Word and understanding God's character has played in her mental health and how things like medication and counseling have been important for her in her journey.

In this episode, we hear from my friend Leah Prewitt. Leah shares how she grew up in a Christian home and yet strayed far from God for several years. God finally called her to repentance shortly after she got married, gave her the spiritual gift of teaching, and now she faithfully serves the Lord and teaches the Bible to women and students, using her testimony to encourage them to seek the Lord and find hope in Christ.

Leah and I talked about all kinds of good things in this episode - from discipling children to the importance of communication in the home, and authenticity with others.
