Anxiety.

We all have it. 

And it’s not always a bad thing—it’s a natural response to facing the unknown that can protect us.

But it can also go too far.

The American Psychological Association said in late 2020 we’re facing a national mental health crisis that could see serious health and social consequences for years to come. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 1 in 5 American adults are affected by an anxiety disorder—that’s some 40 million people.

And yet, freedom from anxiety is learnable.

That’s what Jason Cusick will tell you.

He’s the Pastor of Journey of Faith in Southern California. Formerly a hospital chaplain, he’s passionate about the connection between faith and wellness.

He has a new book—“The Anxiety Field-Guide: Healthy Habits for Long-term Healing”—and is on the show today to share his own experience with anxiety and how to effectively engage it.
