Summary

Some of the most prominent people in ministry and leadership are dealing with anxiety, you just don’t know about it.  The reason is that anxiety doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care about how old you are, what religion you are, or your gender. But unfortunately, not enough people of faith are talking about dealing with anxiety in an open and honest way, and so many people end up struggling alone and in isolation.  That’s why I’m excited about today’s conversation. You guys have heard me talk about my personal journey dealing with anxiety, but today I’ve invited my friend Ashley Willis, who has walked through her own battle with anxiety. She’s so open and honest about her journey, and how she found peace…and I know this episode will encourage you if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety as well.
