Anxiety, uncertainty, and the desire for control are struggles shared by people in every generation. In this episode of Voices, Jean Thiel reflects on St. Paul’s invitation to experience “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding” and explore how surrender, gratitude, faith community, and trust in God can guide us through life’s transitions. Through a personal story of raising a family, learning to let go, and discovering God's presence in the midst of worry, Jean reminds us that the peace we seek may be closer than we think, only a breath away.
