Untroubled Hearts

Christ’s Peace in an Anxious World

Untroubled Hearts: Christ’s Peace in an Anxious World is a pastoral, Scripture-anchored journey into a question many believers quietly carry: Is it truly possible to live with peace in a world that feels increasingly anxious?

Rather than offering quick fixes or spiritual clichés, this book invites readers into a deeper, steadier way of faith—one shaped by presence, trust, and lived experience. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus, the wisdom of Scripture, and decades of pastoral ministry, the author explores peace not as the absence of trouble, but as the gift of Christ’s presence within it.

Each chapter gently addresses a common source of anxiety—fear, restlessness, control, suffering, uncertainty, caregiving, aging, and unfinished outcomes—while offering practices that form resilient, grounded faith. The tone is honest and compassionate, acknowledging pain without being ruled by it, and hope without denying reality.

This book is especially shaped by real life: long seasons of caregiving, personal loss, chronic illness, cultural upheaval, prison ministry, and the slow work of spiritual formation. Peace is presented not as constant calm, but as something learned over time—received in moments, sustained by prayer, and anchored in the cross of Christ.

Untroubled Hearts is not written to eliminate anxiety by force, but to teach readers where to bring it. It is a companion for those who feel weary, responsible, or overwhelmed, and who long for a faith that is both honest and hopeful.
