In this episode of Faith Over Fear, we discuss negative overthinking—how it hijacks our brain’s alarm system, fuels anxiety, and challenges our ability to problem solve and see truth. You’ll learn practical, biblical ways to break free from spiraling thoughts—like grounding techniques to return to the present moment, identifying and replacing toxic thought patterns, and prayer. Packed with tools you can start using today, this episode will help you calm your mind, strengthen your faith, and trust God’s presence and provision in your most uncertain or stressful seasons.
