34. How to Stop Being Anxious About Tomorrow (w/Dr. Rick Blackmon)
About this episode
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and the need to control everything? In this powerful episode, John Ortberg sits down with clinical psychologist and spiritual leader Dr. Rick Blackmon to unpack Philippians 4:6—“Do not be anxious about anything.” Together, they explore the difference between healthy planning and harmful preoccupation, how to build a tolerance for uncertainty, and why surrendering control may be the most powerful step toward peace. If you’ve ever wrestled with worry, this conversation offers both spiritual insight and psychological tools to help you let go and shine.
