Absence of Anxiety - EP361
God Stories Radio
This episode explores a surprising part of anxiety recovery: when anxiety lifts or you begin to feel calm, it can feel unfamiliar — even scary. The hosts explain that after long periods of worry and stress, your brain gets so used to scanning for threats that the absence of anxiety feels strange and unsettling. They call this experience panicogenic relaxation. We as Christians call it surrender. He alone can fill the anxiety void.

Little "g" gods-EP356
God Stories Radio
Knowing god vs. Knowing God: Identifying Little 'g' gods in Your Life In the Christian walk, there is a profound difference between knowing god (in a vague, cultural, or superficial sense) and truly knowing God—the living, holy, personal capital ‘G’ God of Scripture.
