I Have Anxiety | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

Apr 26, 2026    Brandon Beals

Anxiety is real—and for many of us, it’s something we face every single day.


In this message, Pastor Brandon shares a powerful and personal look at anxiety—what causes it, how it affects us, and what Scripture says about it. Through a compelling story and honest insight, you’ll see how anxiety can cause us to trust our feelings over truth—and how God invites us to something better.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in your thoughts, this message will remind you that you’re not alone—and that peace is possible.


You’ll also be challenged to replace fear and distrust with truth, and to anchor your life in the promises of God found in Psalm 23.
