Finding True Peace: Overcoming Anxiety with The Anxiety Algorithm by Drs. Ronnie and James Kent7/24/2025
 Do you ever feel like anxiety is running the show in your life? Maybe it shows up as a restless mind at night, a constant undercurrent of worry, or that knot in your stomach before a tough conversation or big event. If you’ve ever wished for a practical, faith-filled way to break free from fear and find peace, you are not alone—and you’ll love my latest podcast interviews with Dr. Ronnie Kent and Dr. James Kent, authors of The Anxiety Algorithm. These two episodes of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast dive deep into how we can transform patterns of anxiety into patterns of peace and joy, using Scripture, brain science, and practical steps you can use every day.
