Summary

A recent study found that over 40 million adults grapple with some form of anxiety or worry. Chances are, this includes you or someone you love. But don’t we all find ourselves worrying from time to time? I know I do!

So, what’s really causing our worry, and how do we know when our legitimate concerns cross the line into worry?

Well, today on the 4:13, Pastor Jonny Ardavanis gets honest about the underlying issues with worry and where we ultimately find our hope: in the character of God. With pastoral compassion and answers anchored in Scripture, Jonny explains how the antidote to anxiety isn't just trying harder not to worry, but learning to truly trust God’s unchanging character.

Because walking this out in faith isn’t just about believing in God, but in believing God.

So, if you're grasping for peace and starved for hope, listen in! You’ll get something far better than a quick fix—you’ll learn to fix your gaze on your Heavenly Father who loves you.
