Most of us feel anxious and stressed at some point and to varying degrees.
Is it really possible to go from feeling anxious to experiencing joy and peace? Yes! Check out the good news for anxious people.

We all prioritise the things we love the most. We commend those things, we choose to do those things, and we contend for those things to stay important. Join us as we see Paul live out the Gospel priority in his life.
The gospel answers our deepest questions and meets our deepest needs. It shapes the way we relate to God, the way we see ourselves, the causes we give ourselves to, and the way we relate to others.
