Experiencing a recurring pattern of anxious thoughts or becoming gripped by worry over a sudden difficult situation can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to stay under the control of your anxiety. You can create a specific plan to relieve your anxiety and stress—one that is just right for you. It’s what our guests, father-and-son authors Ronnie Kent (a medical doctor and behavioral specialist) and James Kent (a therapist), call The Anxiety Algorithm. It is based on Philippians 4:8 in the Bible and is supported by other passages of Scripture and trusted counseling techniques. Even in the midst of life’s hurts, setbacks, and challenges, you can experience true fulfillment and joy.
