Do you love Jesus… but still struggle with anxiety as a mom?

Do you ever feel guilty that your faith is strong, yet your mind won’t stop racing?

Do you lie awake at night replaying “what if” scenarios about your kids, your health, your future — wondering why peace feels so hard to hold onto?

If that sounds like you, you are not broken — and you are not alone.

Welcome to Faith Over Anxiety for Moms — an internationally ranked Christian motherhood podcast created for Christian moms who want to live with faith without being ruled by fear.

This is a safe, honest space for moms navigating anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, and the emotional weight of motherhood — especially after loss, trauma, or seasons that changed you.

I’m Rachel Cross — wife, mom, former teacher, and a woman who knows firsthand what it’s like to carry anxiety into motherhood. I’ve walked through seasons of fear, grief, therapy, prayer, and learning how to calm my nervous system while clinging to God’s truth.

For a long time, I believed my anxiety meant my faith wasn’t strong enough — until I learned that faith and practical mindset tools can work together to bring real calm.

On this podcast, we talk about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus and manage anxiety in real life.

Each week, you’ll find:

💜Biblical tools that ground you in God’s Word without guilt or pressure

💜Mindset and therapy-inspired strategies to calm anxious thoughts and spiral

💜Practical encouragement for motherhood, including raising anxious children and navigating mom guilt

💜Honest conversations about anxiety after loss, fear for your kids, and learning to trust God again

This isn’t a podcast about “just praying harder.”

And it’s not about fixing yourself.

It’s about learning how to calm your mind, anchor your heart in truth, and show up as a more present, peaceful mom — one faithful step at a time.

You’ll leave each episode with clarity, comfort, and simple tools you can use right away — whether anxiety hits out of nowhere, shows up at bedtime, or creeps in during quiet moments.

If you’re ready to stop letting anxiety run your days and start choosing faith — even when fear is loud — this podcast is for you.

🎧 New episodes drop every Monday & Thursday.

  • 16. Why You Still Feel Anxious as a Christian (Even When You Trust God)
    Mar 26 2026

    Do you still feel anxious even though you trust God?

    Do you want to know what the Bible says about anxiety, overthinking, and trusting God?

    If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I trust God… so why do I still feel anxious?”—this episode is for you.

    Today, we’re walking through Mark 8:22–30 and uncovering a powerful (and often overlooked) truth: even strong faith can coexist with unclear understanding.

    You’ll learn why anxiety doesn’t always mean you’re doing something wrong spiritually—and how it may actually point to a deeper process God is working in you.

    Rachel breaks down the only two-step miracle in the Gospels and what it reveals about how we grow in clarity, trust, and spiritual understanding as Christian moms.

    You’ll also walk away with a simple, practical framework to help you process anxious thoughts, calm your nervous system, and anchor your mind in truth—without guilt or overwhelm.
