Focus on the Family with Jim Daly

Supporting Your Kids When Life is Tough (Part 2 of 2)

Jason and Tori Benham describe the debilitating impact anxiety can have on our health, emotions, and faith. They define anxiety as “projected powerlessness” and believe it’s a form of spiritual warfare. The Benhams offer a 3-part strategy of “recognize” the source of anxiety, “renounce” the lies you’re tempted to believe, and “replace” the lies with God’s truth.
