The Biblical Cure for Anxiety (Matthew 6 Explained)
What if anxiety isn’t something I’m supposed to control, but something Jesus is inviting me to surrender?

Jesus’ words reminded me that peace doesn’t come from controlling tomorrow, but from trusting the Father who already knows what I need. If you’ve been overwhelmed by “what ifs,” worst-case scenarios, or the pressure to figure everything out, this episode is for you.Here’s a study guide to help you understand the bible: https://tracemethod.app/guide

How I Would Study The Bible (If I Could Start Over)
What if the reason the Bible feels confusing isn’t because you’re not reading enough — but because you’ve been looking for the wrong thing? In this episode, I share the one shift that changed the way I study Scripture: I stopped reading the Bible as just information and started reading it as a way to know God. Through John 5:39, we’ll look at how it’s possible to search the Scriptures and still miss the One they’re pointing to. If you feel stuck, confused, or disconnected when you read the Bible, this episode will help you start over with a clearer purpose and a better roadmap for understanding Scripture.Get your 5 step bible study guide here: https://tracemethod.app/guide
