Episodes
Ep41 - Blokes, We Need to Talk
Men are notoriously bad at understanding our emotions—let alone actually sharing about them with someone else—and it’s to our detriment. So how do we as men learn to open up and start talking about what we’re going through? And… Why should we? Does the Bible tell us to? What better way to open up this conversation than to sit down and chat with Akos Balogh, a fellow Aussie bloke helping us figure some of this out.
Ep38 - Self-Aware, or Selfish?
Self-awareness is something that we all need. But is there a point where leaning into self-awareness is actually just…selfish? Today we’re chatting with Steve Mitchell from the UK, who works as the Senior Vice President of the European branch of our organisation, Our Daily Bread Ministries. Seve is also an Executive Coach who has a passion for helping people have transformative conversations. We’ll hear what coaching is, how it works, and whether there’s a point when spending too much time thinking and talking about ourselves is actually selfish… and unhelpful.
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.
Ep8 - Does Gratitude Help Our Mental Health?
If you’re someone who has been around the mental health space for a bit, whether just from reading or hearing things, or dealing with it yourself, you’ve probably come across the concept of gratitude. And that’s for a reason - gratitude is actually something that can help our mental health.
Ep5 - Can We Learn to Stop Avoiding Our Anxiety?
Anxiety is never nice to experience. But is avoiding it always the best plan? What if we were able to stop avoiding the anxiety, and instead learn from it?
Ep3 - Owning Your Labels
If you’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health challenges, and you’ve been open about it – there’s a fair chance that you might be labelled that way by people.
