Jamie Grace was diagnosed with anxiety at 11 years old, as well as Tourette Syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In her new book, Finding Quiet: My Journey to Peace in an Anxious World (Bethany House, October 13, 2020) the Grammy-nominated recording artist opens up about her lifelong struggles with mental illness, and her dependence on Christ to help her discover moments of silence in an otherwise noisy world.

Over the years Jamie has turned to medication, counseling and prayer, and found that through a combination of purposeful habits and her faith in Jesus, she is able to manage her thoughts and find rest and quiet in order to hear the Lord’s voice louder than others.

In today’s episode we discuss:

● Living with mental illness – where is God in this diagnosis?
● How to find quiet even when it’s noisy
● God is always speaking, it’s up to us to be “quiet” enough to hear/listen
● How being thrust into fame at a young age complicated her mental health diagnosis
● Navigating friendships/relationships and the role of boundaries in mental health
● What do we do when we can’t pray away a diagnosis? Where and how does faith come into play?
● Asking for help – why is this so hard, and how can we overcome the stigma?

Join us for a conversation about practical life lessons that will help you learn to let go, release from comparison, navigate relationships, find purpose, and peace in an anxious world.
