Find Rest Amidst Anxiety

In the aftermath of the pandemic, even those who have never struggled with mental health have found themselves reeling, looking for answers they don't know how to find. For Christians, especially those who've despaired of help from a church that has too often stigmatized poor mental health as a lack of faith, the way forward can be particularly difficult to see.

I aim to fix that. Having fought my own way through crippling anxiety, life-altering OCD, and suicidal thoughts, I was searching for concrete advice grounded in strong biblical truth. It was hard to find, especially from those who were willing to be real and honest. So I wrote Finding Rest. Instead of the trite or unsympathetic advice that's too often given, Finding Rest is practical, personal, and productive. I packed it full of personal stories, scriptural truths, and even humor. I hope you’ll see it’s from a guide who's still on his journey and offers real hope and help.

But it’s not just for the anxiety/OCD/depression sufferer. It also provides a lifeline for friends and family who long for ways to help relieve the suffering of their loved ones. And it calls to account the church for its historical treatment of mental health and lays out thoughtful, needed paths for the body of Christ to become a refuge of hope for the anxious.
