Episode 947 Show Notes 

From the Show

There is a kind of sinful anxiety that comes from a result of being preoccupied with the cares of this world. The desires for riches and those kinds of things. But we can also differentiate between that and mental disorders.

Can the Bible Be Used to Cure Anxiety and Depression?

Questions in this Episode

  1. In Mark 13:32-37, it says to stay awake because no one knows the day or the hour. Is the direction here a metaphor or a literal command?
  2. Did Jesus ever go to hell after the resurrection, did he descend to the dead?
  3. I know the Bible includes verses on how to deal with anxiety. But why is it so hard to cast our burdens to him? When I do that I still have a fear that overpowers me. I really don’t like medicine, it doesn’t make me feel safe. I am trying to give my life to God but I fall short. I just want to overcome my anxiety. Is there any solution?
  4. I suspect my pastor of immoral behavior, what do I do?
