I used to think my anxiety was just a habit I needed to manage. Reading the Sermon on the Mount made me realise something harder to accept: that my worrying was a sin in itself, because it showed I didn't actually trust the plan God had given me.
This episode sits on two lines from Matthew chapter 6: "Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" and the Lord's Prayer asking for "today our daily bread," not tomorrow's. When I looked back, there hadn't been a single day in my life without food, water or shelter, yet 99 percent of those days I never once stopped to be thankful for them.
I also faced my biggest fear about faith head on: that it would blunt my edge, kill my ambition and make me lazy. The opposite happened. I'm still doing the podcast, still going to the gym, and I now see every project I quit not as failure but as God redirecting me, which is exactly why I can talk to you about this today. Everything beyond my daily bread, I've realised, is simply a bonus.
