with Teri Racey","description":"

It can be argued that modern Americans are some of the most stressed out people who have ever lived. The speed of change, the pressure of ambition, and the capricious nature of economics, relationships, and careers has made for a toxic brew that has more people on anti-stress medications than ever.

However, it’s been proven that faith drastically reduces stress and anxiety. Handing our worries over to the Lord is not only commanded by Jesus, but is very good for us. So how do we do it? What strategies work? Where do we start?

Author and speaker Teri Racey has some ideas. She is a writer and speaker on stress and anxiety issues and has helped countless individuals stop worrying and start living. In this course Teri will teach us:

What is worry and what causes it
How to live with stress and worry
When do I need professional help
Strategies for keeping calm

This course is perfect for those who are suffering from stress, and those trying to interact with stressed-out people.
