What if the path out of anxiety begins by thinking differently?
Season 12 kicks off with artist and bestselling author Ruth Chou Simons joining Candace for a shorter season on freedom from anxiety. Ruth shares how the wildflowers of Western Colorado — and Jesus’ words in Luke 12:27 — taught her to stop toiling and spinning and to practice trust in God’s character. 
Together they unpack the difference between worry, anxious thoughts, and clinical anxiety (with encouragement to seek wise medical/counseling support), and they walk through practical ways to renew your mind with Scripture, gratitude, and embodied calm. Candace opens up about control, overthinking, and even a stress dream from set life — and how verses like Philippians 4:6–7 and Matthew 6 steady her heart. Listener questions cover: stopping the mind spin, staying grateful on bad days, and simple daily habits that serve mental health (device-free walks, steady workouts). 
Plus: a free Advent Guide from Ruth’s Emmanuel to help you savor Jesus’ coming with peace, not pressure.
