Episodes
Ep29 - Is Counselling Actually Biblical?
We’re chatting with Noni Potter, the Head of Undergraduate Counselling at Tabor, a Christian college in Australia. She’s passionate about combining her faith with evidence-based psychological methods which, she believes, echo God’s truths.
Ep28 - But Isn’t Anxiety a Sin?
A common thread through many of the stories we share is our guests’ experiences of being told that their anxiety or other mental health struggles are a faith issue, not a mental one. With a growing awareness of the reality and prevalence of mental health struggles, are there really people who don’t believe that mental illnesses can be a sign of our fallen world, and are instead the result of wilful disobedience to God?
Ep18 - Is ‘Mindfulness’ Okay as a Christian?
‘Mindfulness’ is one of the big practices that are often recommended or suggested to people who are struggling with their mental health. But as Christians, is mindfulness something that we should throw ourselves into without question? Do we need to be careful in following these exercises?
Ep11 - Is There Tension Between Faith and Psychology?
In this episode, we’re chatting with Chris–a familiar voice here at Anxious Faith. Chris has studied two theological degrees, planted and pastored a church, and is now studying psychology. In this episode, we’re chatting with Chris about his experiences from both sides–as a recipient of therapy, and now as a student of psychology, too.
Ep2 - Using Your Anxiety
As we start the new year, it’s often a time for people to reflect on the past, and what they might like to change for the future. For people who have struggled with anxiety, trying to factor that in can be difficult. What are we supposed to do with our anxiety? Do we just write that time off, try and move on, and not let it impact us any more? Or can something more come from it?
