What's the Dill?

Ep. #155 -You Can Have Anxiety AND Love Jesus

Pete Dill

Anxiety is real—and many young Catholics struggle with it silently, unsure if faith alone should “fix it.” In this episode, we open up the conversation around mental health, faith, and healing. We explore how anxiety doesn’t make you a bad Catholic—and how real interior freedom starts with radical honesty before God.

Drawing from Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Philippe (pp. 43–44), we reflect on how peace doesn’t come from escaping our struggles, but from accepting our limits and leaning into grace. This is an honest, hope-filled conversation for anyone who’s ever wrestled with anxiety and wondered where God is in the midst of it.
