Help! I’m Stressed Out

Many teens find that life in this world leaves them feeling stressed out! But even when anxiety feels crippling, God’s Word lays out a path forward— a path toward peace beyond what might seem possible right now. In Christ, there is certain hope of learning what to do, how to trust, and how to find true, meaningful peace amid the ups and downs of life.

Anxiety might feel inescapable. But the Bible does not present anxiety as a morally neutral emotion just to accept. No, anxiety—anxiety over anything at all—is something that God calls us out of.

The “LifeLine Mini-book for Teens Series” meets critical needs for today’s young people. The biblical approach, structured presentation, and personal application projects make these mini-books ideal for parents and other counselors of teens. Thank you Shepherds Press and The Wilds for beginning to fill a crucial void in biblical counseling tools.

— Dr. Jim Berg

This new series should provide some great help for young people at a crossroads on issues having to do with peers, parents, worldly voices, and inner struggles. I wholeheartedly endorse this effort designed to bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.

“Unlike the many counseling resources we can find for adults, there are few directly relatable to teens and the issues they face. These mini-books bring the Scriptures to bear in a relevant way for both teens and those ministering to them.”
