In this episode of Water into Wine, Father Charleston Wilson opens a 2022 Napa Valley Chardonnay and uses it as a doorway into a conversation about anxiety, worry, and finding peace in God’s presence. Drawing from his own experience with anxiety, Scripture, and years of pastoral conversations, Father Charleston reflects on why our feelings are not always telling us the truth, how worry often lives in the “what if,” and what it means to cast our anxieties on Jesus. The episode explores surrender, the pressure of modern life, and food and wine pairings. It also includes Father Charleston’s answer to a listener's question about whether to order the house wine at a restaurant.
