Antidote to Anxiety (Re-airing)

Janet Aucoin August 22, 2025

We’re revisiting one of our very impactful episodes, where Janet Aucoin and Alexandra Nitzschke walk through the complex topic of anxiety and its various underlying heart issues by studying the Sermon on the Mount. Through thoughtful discussion and biblical insights, they explore how anxiety often reveals deeper struggles and how, in our relationship with Christ, we can discover true freedom amid these feelings.

Whether you’re listening for the first time or returning for a fresh perspective, this re-aired episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical hope for navigating anxiety from a biblical viewpoint. Join us for this encore as we reflect on timeless truths and equip ourselves to pursue peace in Christ.

Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months. This is a season of regrouping and refocusing for us and we appreciate your patience as we do this. That means we will not be airing our quarterly recaps on each of the gospels as we anticipated, but don’t let that stop you from digging into the gospels! We’re taking this opportunity to share some previously released episodes with you. If you are a newer listener, we’re excited for you to hear some of these earlier episodes and for our long-term listeners, we are hoping that these episodes will be an encouragement to you once again! We look forward to returning in the future so stay tuned!
