In this episode of Shalom Season, Jess sits down with her husband, Nick Connolly, to talk about anxiety. Especially when it shows up physically, not just mentally. Nick shares about his recent battle with anxiety, how it differed from past experiences, and what it looked like to pursue peace in the middle of it.

Together, they explore the tension between caring for your health and becoming consumed by it, the role of community and prayer, and the shift from striving to receive God’s love. This conversation is a reminder that even when your body feels overwhelmed, true biblical peace, shalom, is still possible.

Let’s go.
