Attacking Anxiety

From Panicked and Depressed to Alive and Free

De: Shawn Johnson

Narrado por: Shawn Johnson

Even in the middle of brokenness and overwhelming pain, God has a plan and a purpose for your life, and he is ready to heal you in ways you never thought possible. Join Shawn Johnson, lead pastor of Red Rocks Church, as he gives a searingly honest portrait of anxiety and depression and shows listeners how to fight back and live free.

Shawn Johnson was the lead pastor of a thriving, fast-growing church. He was supposed to have it all together. But he was also struggling in silence with anxiety and depression, suffering from debilitating panic attacks that told him the lie that this would never end, that he'd spend the rest of his life in excruciating pain.

In Attacking Anxiety, Shawn vulnerably shares about this dark time and offers those familiar with that same struggle everything he's learned in his battles with anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Join Shawn as he:

• Exposes the lies that lead to isolation and replace them with the truths that are essential to survival
• Reveals the things that most of us don't realize are adding more anxiety and depression to our lives and replace them with the wisdom and support that lead to true freedom
• Explains what to do when you, or someone you love, is in the middle of a panic attack
• Guides you through what you need to know in order to start attacking anxiety and depression

Praise for Attacking Anxiety:

"In our current culture where depression and anxiety are at an all-time high, Attacking Anxiety comes at just the right time. This book is the perfect resource to read if you, like me, have battled anxiousness, loss of control, or even the inability to cope. Pastor Shawn dives into how we can live a life where anxiety isn't our label or our future. He shows us that we don't have to just sit back and let it attack us, we can choose to fight back--with the weapons of God's Word--and overcome the anxiety monster once and for all and live the life God always intended for us to live: free."

Powerful

Fantastic insight on a topic affecting so many. This book is insightful, raw, and real. Well done!

tough to experience, we're not alone---->GOD<----

Its on point. We're not alone, great book.
I discovered this book at the same time o was having my worst panic episodes. it was a God send literally.

Being able to relate to the author and getting helpful information for myself.

At first when it went into God, I didn’t know if I would continue. Only because I’ve struggled with it and I wasn’t trying to be swayed into a certain belief. Shawn wrote this book amazingly and it has opened me up more to what I can do! Thank you for sharing 🥰

If only everyone could hear this

This books for people like me who have had these problems for years . And for the people who have no idea what it’s like . It’s let’s us both know we’re not crazy .

Excellent!

This amazing pastor illustrates, through his own life, how God can turn ashes into something beautiful. He has shines a bright light on his own mental Illness and he’s healing because of that. The enemy comes to steal and destroy and through the power of love and faith in Jesus Christ, he’s revealing the truth about mental health and the power of our Lord and savior. It is a gift to us all and I have learned a lot about myself, spiritual warfare (this is indeed a spiritual battle) and how scripture, the word of God, can help us through depression and anxiety!!!

Real and Raw

Shawn in real and raw in sharing his experience. True vulnerability is rare yet this book was full of it. Good read for someone needing help with anxiety or for a friend or family member to understand it better.

Absolutely fantastic

I would rate 6 stars if I could. Thank you so much Shawn for your authenticity and commitment to growth. It’s inspiring and incredibly helpful for me and the ministry I lead.

very very helpful

I too struggle with anxiety and very bad depression, what you spoke is so real thank you for teaching me ways to make it through them.

Powerful

I love when the actual authors read their books!

This message is so needed in this world and this book is filled cover to cover with hope, grace, promise and a guiding path to freedom found only in Christ!

worth listening to

I recommend this book as a good starting place. Modalities such as ISTDP have transformed deep work in this area, but they are very specialized.
