We all have tension in our lives. And a lot of times it manifests itself in anxious thoughts and

just feeling like we can't get our heads around something or we can't move through it. And

that's just part of being human. It's just part of living life. And this isn't the episode that I had planned for today, but it's the

my heart. And some real life circumstances I've kind of walked through recently and hopefully

some practical things that will help you if you have any similar situations going on.

So the heart of what I want to talk about is how to get to the other side of tension.

I think that tension in a lot of ways is a gift that God gives us to tell us something's not right.
