Is Anxiety a Sin for Christians? What the Bible Really Says About Worry and Faith

It’s a question many Christians quietly carry, especially when worry feels constant and hard to shake.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson gently unpacks what the Bible really says about anxiety — and what it doesn’t say. With warmth and honesty, Ken helps you separate common misconceptions from biblical truth, so anxiety no longer comes wrapped in guilt or shame.

You’ll explore where the idea that “anxiety equals sin” comes from, and why that belief can actually make things heavier instead of lighter. Ken explains the important distinction between feeling anxious and choosing fear, and examines what Jesus truly meant when He spoke about worry — not as a rebuke, but as an invitation to rest.

This episode also highlights God’s deep compassion for anxious hearts. Rather than condemning anxiety, Scripture shows a God who welcomes honesty, understands human weakness, and invites you to bring your worries to Him without fear of rejection.

If you’ve ever felt like anxiety means you’re failing God, this conversation offers freedom. Freedom from self-blame. Freedom from pressure. And reassurance that God’s grace meets you right where you are.

This is a gentle, hopeful episode for anyone who wants to walk into the week ahead with a lighter heart, renewed trust, and the comforting reminder that you are not alone.
