How Not to Worry

Listen to this message

What if worry isn’t wisdom, but rather a habit we can unlearn? Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, “do not worry,” lands not as a platitude, but as a liberating command paired with a practice: look at the birds, consider the flowers, and remember your Father’s care in the present moment.


Jacob digs into three lies that keep worry on the throne and show how each one backfires by draining attention, clouding decisions, and replacing trust with obsession.


You’ll hear practical tools for the moments when fear spikes. Jacob also talks about taking thoughts captive in community. The result is not a life without hard things, but a life where peace meets you in the hard things.
