And, uh, we're really grateful for you guys. And yet you're able to do ministry in a meaningful way with your wife and help this couple to just think about things that they can't possibly imagine, cause they're a younger couple wanting to get married.
What happens when anxiety meets faith? In this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Joe Greer opens up about his personal battle with anxiety and how his faith played a crucial role in his recovery. Raised in a church that stressed self-reliance, Joe often found himself overwhelmed by depression and anxiety.

Joe talks about the turning points in his journey, from recognizing the deeper issues fueling his anxiety to understanding the power of scripture and community. He shares how counseling and discipleship helped him confront his struggles, revealing the importance of looking beyond oneself and trusting in God. This episode is more than just a story of overcoming anxiety; it’s a testament to the strength found in faith and fellowship.
Joe’s experiences highlight the impact of seeking support within the church rather than relying solely on medication or other external solutions. His story is a powerful reminder that with God’s help, even the most daunting challenges can be faced and overcome. Whether you're dealing with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, Joe's insights offer a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear how faith and community can transform lives, providing solace and strength in times of need.
