Episode Details

Is there anything you’re worried about right now? Chances are, there’s probably at least one thing on the list but the more important question is, can we be worried without letting it become all consuming? Can we acknowledge the part of us that’s scared, concerned, or trying to figure everything out—and at the same time, stay grounded in God and in faith and still take a step forward? Faith doesn’t mean we’ll never worry. The worry can be there. But it doesn’t have to be the part of us making all the decisions. So we can acknowledge the worry, and we can also listen to the part inside that reminds us: God is here, I’m not alone, and I don’t have to figure everything out today. And maybe that’s what spiritual freedom looks like—not being completely free from worry, but becoming free enough to trust that part that whispers God is with us in whatever we’re facing. Today, Father Pat McGrath teaches us how to stand strong in our faith in a world filled with anxiety—both within us and around us.
