The Big Picture

Take Two Verses and Don’t Call Me in the Morning

The Big Picture

Overcoming fear and anxiety is a relational discipleship process, not an exhortational event Facing fear and anxiety is a comprehensive process involving the whole person in their whole life situation.

A Biblical Model

We need a CFRC Model

Creation: Mood Order—Vigilance

Called to Sentry Duty Gen. 2:15: Take Care Of/Keep Vig: Vigil, Vigilance, Vigor

Fall: Mood Disorder—Stuck Vigilance

Failing to Guard the Garden Gen. 3:10: Fear and Hiding

The Family Tree of Anxiety

Vigilance: The Faith Response to Threat Anger: The Fight Response to Threat Anxiety: The Flight Response to Threat

Redemption: Mood Reorder—Clinging to God

Choosing to Sacrifice in the Garden When Fear Strikes: “Where does fear drive me?” When Anxiety Stalks, Faith Wrestles

Consummation: Mood Healing—Cure

Now…Victory Over! Peace in the midst and godly living through it all

Comprehensive Dynamic Care:Philippians 4—A Running Commentary

It’s Not: Take two verses… It Is: The sufficiency, relevancy, and profundity of God’s Word


Phil. 4:1—“Therefore” Phil. 1:27-28—Theme/Context Is Vigil! Phil. Chapters 1-3—1:6; 1:20-25; 2:1-10, etc. Phil. 4:1,3—“Brothers,” “Loyal Yokefellows” Phil. 4:4—“Rejoice in the Lord”


Phil. 4:5—“Lord is near” Phil. 4:6—“Anxious” Phil. 4:7—“Peace,” “Guard”—Sentinel! Phil. 4:8—Mental/Rational Phil. 4:9—Volitional Phil. 4:13, 19, 20, 23


Imagine…If this one verse in one chapter in one book has this much profound wisdom for victory in anxiety…how sufficient the entire Bible is for a comprehensive approach to victory in anxiety!
