Episode Title: The Antidote To Anxiety
Series: Core Christianity
Speaker: Pastor Dennis Gallaher
In This Episode:
Anxiety is one of the most normalized struggles in our culture—even inside the Church. But Scripture gives us a better way. In this message, Pastor Dennis walks through Philippians 4 to show how a lifestyle of gratitude doesn’t just lift our mood—it disarms worry and unlocks peace. If anxiety has become a familiar companion in your life, this episode offers biblical insight and a practical path toward lasting peace.
Main Idea:
Anxiety is real—but God gives us the antidote: prayer, thanksgiving, and trust. Peace isn’t just possible. It’s promised.
Key Themes:
- God’s prescription for anxiety: prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving
- Why gratitude is a spiritual strategy, not just a feeling
- The difference between worldly peace and God’s peace
- How fear, control, and grief fuel anxiety
- What it means to guard your heart with God’s peace

- Philippians 4:6–7
- Matthew 6:25–34
- John 14:27
- Psalm 55:22
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
