Seeking God When Anxiety Strikes with Rebekah Lyons

In this episode, I’m joined by Rebecca Lyons to talk about mental health and our journey of faith. Rebecca started wrestling with panic disorder when she moved to New York. After a year and a half of dealing with panic attacks, she cried out to the Lord, and at that moment, she was flooded with peace and didn’t experience another panic attack for seven years. But, the journey did not end for her there. Anxiety still affects her from time to time. Therefore, she established spiritual rhythms to maintain health and renewal. Rebecca is here to remind us that we don’t have to perform for God. We can go to God with our rawness, our desperation, our longing, and our despair. His hands are wide open for us.

After our podcast last week on spiritual abuse with Dr. John Townsend, I thought it would be beneficial to have Rebecca’s voice here to talk about the prevalence of mental illness in our midst and how it is that it affects our journey of faith. We discussed how we can really talk about it, how we walk with God, and how God equips us, heals us, and even transforms us to help others.
