From Worry to Wellness: James and Ronnie Kent on Biblical Anxiety Relief

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes father-son team James Kent and Ronnie Kent to discuss their new book, Anxiety Algorithm: Turning Your Pattern of Worry and Stress into a Pattern of Peace and Joy. With refreshing vulnerability and clinical expertise, this therapist and medical doctor duo share how anxiety doesn’t reflect spiritual immaturity – even pastors struggle with it! They explain the science behind anxiety versus fear, provide practical wellness exercises you can do anywhere (like the “two steps back” method), and introduce their faith-based algorithm, which focuses on whatever is true, noble, right, and praiseworthy. James and Ronnie emphasize that turning to God isn’t a one-time “button push” but an ongoing conversation, helping believers understand that “practice makes progress, Jesus makes perfect” – offering hope for anyone overwhelmed by our anxiety-inducing world.
