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.

Anxiety is real—but God gives us the antidote: prayer, thanksgiving, and trust. Peace isn’t just possible. It’s promised.

Key Themes:
