Ep 81: Release Control (GH)

Why do Christians still struggle with anxiety and control? In this Greenhouse discussion, Brian Fisher and Kyle Moody continue the conversation from Episode 80 by exploring the relationship between anxiety, control, suffering, lament, and trust in God. Together they ask why many Christians and churches struggle to talk honestly about mental illness, depression, and anxiety, even though these struggles are common inside and outside the church. The conversation explores Adam Young’s idea that anxiety may be connected to a deep reservoir of unfelt emotions, especially unresolved sorrow, grief, anger, and loss. Brian and Kyle also discuss how lament, trusted community, and honest prayer can help reconnect our hearts to God when we feel abandoned, disappointed, or afraid.
