Episode notes

Are you stuck in a cycle of overthinking, anxiety, and fear? You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. In this gripping and deeply relatable sermon, Pastor Adam Dragoon uncovers the sin of catastrophizing—the spiritual trap of always assuming the worst, magnifying minor issues, and losing trust in God’s promises.🔍 Drawing from Isaiah 30, the story of the 12 spies, and even the Apostle Paul’s own moments of despair, Pastor Dragoon exposes the mental and spiritual distortion that leads to anxiety, pessimism, and paralysis. But more than that, he points to faith as the cure—a renewed mind and a rock-solid trust in the God who sees the end from the beginning.📖 Key Scriptures: • Isaiah 30:1–3 • Philippians 4:6–7 • 2 Corinthians 10:5 • Romans 8:28 • Psalm 61:2🔥 This message isn’t just for “worriers”—it’s for perfectionists, overthinkers, discouraged parents, and anyone who’s ever said, “It’s all falling apart.” It’s time to break the cycle.
