50. BONUS EPISODE: Building A Non-Anxious Life with Dr. John Delony
What if anxiety isn’t a flaw to fix—but a signal inviting you to live differently?
In this special bonus episode of Kids Ministry Calling, Jana sits down with Dr. John Delony, mental health expert, author, and counselor, to unpack a healthier, hope-filled way to understand anxiety—especially for ministry leaders carrying heavy emotional loads.
Dr. Delony reframes anxiety as a natural alarm system rather than a disorder, offering freedom from shame and practical clarity for those navigating stress, burnout, and constant pressure. Drawing from his book Building a Non-Anxious Life, he walks through six empowering choices that can help leaders move toward peace, connection, and wholeness in both life and ministry.
This conversation is especially timely as we enter a new year—inviting leaders to pause, reflect, and choose a different pace rooted in responsibility, reality, and hope.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why anxiety is an alarm—not a personal failure
- The six choices that lead to a less anxious life
- How ministry stress uniquely impacts emotional health
- Why connection and community are essential for healing
- Practical ways leaders can care for their mental and spiritual well-being
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or simply longing for a healthier way to lead, this bonus episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and a clear path forward.
🎙️ Listen in and step into the new year with clarity, courage, and peace.
