Teaching Kids Character Through Sports

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.
