Welcome to Winning the War for Your Heart, a special series based on Brian Freise's book, Above All Else.
What if your anxiety, panic, or depression isn't something you need to get rid of—but something you actually need to learn to listen to?
In Episode 1, Brian tells the story of the night pain invaded his life in a way he could no longer ignore, numb, or outrun.
Brian takes us back to November 2018, when panic walked into his life uninvited, the ER visit he was ashamed to make, and the moment four words—"It's as bad as it feels"—became his first brush with real compassion.
If you've ever felt broken, behind, or completely out of control, this is where Brian's journey begins.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why "I'm going to push through this" can actually keep you from healing
How Brian's "Great Awakening" changed his relationship with emotion
The difference between soul neglect and genuine self-care
Why "Above all else, guard your heart" is about stewardship—not simply protection
Why emotional pain doesn't heal the same way physical pain does
What to do when anxiety shows up in the middle of the night
