My Guest: Kim Stolzfus is a college instructor at the University of Kentucky. Kim shares her powerful testimony\u2014one marked by early religious confusion, people-pleasing, debilitating panic attacks, and seasons of profound hopelessness. Through it all, Jesus continually meets her, flips her assumptions about God, and draws her into freedom, purpose, and joy in His upside-down kingdom. This conversation is an honest exploration of what it looks like to bring our religious thinking to Jesus and allow Him to transform it\u2014slowly, faithfully, and sometimes painfully\u2014into true gospel freedom. In This Episode, You\u2019ll Hear:   Kim\u2019s early experience with faith and how fear distorted her view of God    How people-pleasing and anxiety shaped her spiritual life    A pivotal gospel conversation with a Campus Crusade (Cru) leader named Adele    Why hearing the gospel didn\u2019t immediately change everything\u2014but planted a seed    Kim\u2019s descent into severe panic attacks and hopelessness after college    A season of suffering that led to surrender and renewed dependence on God    How God answered prayers in unexpected (and unwanted) ways    Kim\u2019s journey through graduate school, Washington D.C., and deep Christian community    The power of Christian friendship, Bible study, and faithful presence    How God now uses Kim\u2019s story in her work as a university professor    Why faith the size of a mustard seed is more than enough   &amp;nbsp;If you are walking through anxiety, fear, or despair\u2014or if peace feels unfamiliar or even frightening\u2014this episode is for you. Kim\u2019s story is a reminder to never give up, to cling to Jesus even when faith feels small, and to trust that God is always at work, even when we can\u2019t see it. &amp;nbsp; Thanks for listening!
