✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 104 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Dr. Angela Deulen to explore the connection between faith, stress, and the nervous system. If you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or “noisy on the inside,” Angela explains why spiritual habits can feel difficult when your nervous system is dysregulated and how calming your body can help you reconnect with God. She shares a powerful framework she calls the “Davidic arc,” showing how David’s Psalms often start in despair and move toward trust, helping us shift from fight-or-flight into a more regulated state where we can think clearly and renew our minds. They also talk about how gratitude supports regulation, why community matters (“borrow faith” from others), and how our view of God can impact fear-based responses. This episode is practical, hopeful, and deeply grounding. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.
