What’s God Think about My Anxiety? Dr. Ed Welch

Anxiety can feel crippling and heavy with shame. Psychologist and author Dr. Ed Welch fumbled with his own anxiety, and eventually, it led him into life-altering encounters with God—who, it turned out, had beautiful things to say.

How can we create a context in our home where children can speak openly? That’s the challenge. If our children are accustomed to being rebuked quickly or corrected quickly, it doesn’t take many of those occasions for a child to say, “Well, there are certain things you’re not allowed to talk about here, and so we don’t talk about these things.” How can we as parents, and how can we as churches create a place where people can speak from their hearts? -- Dr. Ed Welch
