Faith, Fear & Feeding the Wrong Wolf

Anxiety whispers today’s headlines louder than peace. Every new statistic makes your heart race—but what if those fears are fuel for the wrong wolf inside you? God tells us to choose differently: to feed truth, not worry. But that’s easier said than done. Watching the news, scrolling your phone, reading headlines—it’s like running your heart on a dying battery. This piece isn’t about denying fear—it’s about noticing when you’re feeding the wrong side, then plugging into the words that promise peace even when everything around you screams the opposite.

The Scars of Resilience

Living among Texas oaks has its lessons: storms leave scars, but the tree stands firmer for it. Psalm 1 paints that same image—one rooted by streams, standing through seasons, bearing fruit. Not a symbol of perfection, but perseverance. It’s tempting to drift like a tumbleweed, but a life grounded in truth can weather the chaos. Real strength is quiet. It’s nestled in deep roots, consistent nourishment, and choosing where you walk, stand, and sit—in ways that let life grow from the inside out.
