- Sermon on the Mount E29 - In Jesus' fourth and final teaching on money, he offers his listeners an antidote to the worry that accompanies life’s daily troubles. Jesus teaches that the path to a peaceful mindset is found in what we pay attention to or seek. And seeking the Kingdom of the skies leads to trusting in God's abundance. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and Michelle explore how communities who understand God's character can live without worry, knowing that even death does not separate us from God’s generosity.

I’ve been struggling with my anxiety lately and this pops up the lord works in ways you least expect amen
My name is Collin, and tho I have peace with the use of Marijuana in my life, ( I don't condemn myself) I do desire to lay down this practice for the aim of living a healthier smoke free lifestyle. I would love to have an insight of how to break free of such habits. Thankyou Bible Project for all your hard work and dedication to King Jesus by extending your knowledge onto his church.
Hey Collin, hope you're good. I too struggled with this until this year when I miraculously stopped. Without sounding cliché, the Holy Spirit is who got me through this. I realized after trying countless times that I couldn't do this with my own power. I prayed to God every day to help me and He did. Mark 9:29. the fact that you want to stop is what matters, He will help you my brother, hang onto him.
Hey Lerato, I actually am doing this, I consider this my assurance of a future victory, thanks so much, God bless 🙏😊
If you have Christian community, you can confess to someone you trust and have them hold you accountable. Meet once a week to talk about it.
The first three days are the most difficult for detox so try not to schedule things for 3 days when you quit smoking. Try stop stopping for one week then 30 days. Its not great for anxiety, better for inflammation. If you need that you can hit your cb1 and cb2 recptors with those little organic hash pens carefully dosed as medicine. Take breaks! Drink water
Don’t feel guilt about it, understand it’s part of your journey, and think about the desire behind your desire to use marijuana. Then come to peace with it and give yourself grace, it will fall away to the extent that you are willing to look inward. I say this as someone on the same path, peace and blessings.
I needed this so much! 😭😭😭 I have been addressing my anxious attachment style so much. This was very timely for me.
Thank you, Bible Project team.
Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
I like that the word anxiety was explored as to mean more like “worry”. But I wish the psychiatrist had addressed when one may consider medication. Thank you for your wonderful and amazing work.🙏❤️
Absolutely wonderful. I pray Our Father Holy is his name, continually grant wisdom and understanding onto the hearts of his people that we may all truly be able to love God and People in oneness. Bless you King Jesus. Amen.
I thank you all again. I appreciate this, especially Dr. Curt Thompson for his valuable insight! I have never been one to worry, but I do have concerns for family and neighbors.
really hit home the interview with Stephanie and curt waves to steff i remember her in the Jonah class 🙋♂thanks Tim and Jon 🙂
Amen..Jesus Christ is God ✝️
This episode really hit him for me. I struggled with uncontrollable anxiety for a long time, where it was affecting my sleep, work, etc. I did have people quote scripture at me. Heck I tried quoting it at myself. Couldn't afford a therapist either.
Two years ago was a bit of a breaking point for me, and it wasn't quoted scripture that changed me, it was an honest healing of the mind from Jesus the Healer. It's been two years now that I've been freed from the control of anxiety - not that it doesn't try to rear its head again sometimes, but it's never gotten control of me. I've felt very blessed by that healing because I know that there are still people out there who struggle with their mental health and need more healing than I.
How? Im atm struggling badly. And its such a lonely struggle.
@AkaliTheKid I can only explain it as the peace that only God can give. I left work every day in tears, feeling like I was useless, that I was messing everything up. I questioned why God put me there. God spoke to me through songs in the radio (air1) to encourage me that I wasn't alone but I would still spend hours at night, in bed, replaying every little mistake, certain that I would be let go the next day. I dreaded work. And it wasn't even that my coworkers were awful. But anxiety and depression can very much make you feel alone. It was a downward spiral, veering toward depression. It could have ended much worse.
But one day, God answered my prayer. I was at my breaking point, and then... I felt His peace. I think my heart had just finally surrendered.
Believe me when I say I understand. Especially when God doesn't answer right away. I struggled with it at a severe level for at least a decade, maybe longer. Maybe He let me do that i could encourage others like you in similar situations. Just cling to His promises and keep praying. And talk to someone who actually listens. ❤️
I believe we are taking a wrong approach to this anxiety and also the money and stuff things. I believe what Jesus said can be paraphrased as: "Serve God by looking for His will and perform it (the Kingdom of God) and let Him take care of everything else so you won't be distracted. Because, if you try to do His job by taking care of all these things yourself, you will miss His will and your purpose."
He also said this very same thing in Matthew 11:28-30, where even He Himself say that this is for us to "find rest to our souls", which is the end of anxiety.
Thus, the problem is in reality that we are not looking for "The Kingdom of God and His righteousness", which to me is what God is asking each une of us to do in this moment and get focus on it, we are not taking His yoke, but still ask to get the reward of doing so. We should start by perform His will, and let Him fulfill His part of the bargain, and this can only be done by faith because to the earthly man, what I just said, is nonsense.
God bless you guys, you are doing an incredible job! God with you!
"Just trust that the garment will find you!"... So what you're saying, is that God's economy is kind of like the cat distribution system?
They will find you!😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😻
And God said, "And this cat will also be added to you!"
And the Lord God saw that this was good... And then he did it again with another kitty cat.. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
