Anxious Faith
An Update From Our Team

Hi friends, listen to this short clip or read below for an important announcement from our team!

As you might know, Anxious Faith is a project run by Our Daily Bread Ministries here in Australia. We’ve been blessed to journey with this community for four years now, and we’re so thankful for where God has taken this initiative. But it’s time for a new chapter, and with that, we’re announcing that Anxious Faith is coming to a close.

What does that mean for you? Well, firstly, don’t worry; our episodes and blog posts aren’t going anywhere, and you’ll still find them all at anxiousfaith.org and wherever you get your podcasts. There’s so much content there for you to listen, read, watch and share with others!

Our heart here at Anxious Faith has always been to explore the messy intersection between our faith and life’s struggles, and to see what the Bible has to say about the things we face; and that hasn’t changed. Our team will continue produce impactful content and resources for you, it just means that now, they’ll fall under the banner of Our Daily Bread Ministries.

To be the first to hear when our new content is out, you can follow us on Instagram as @‌odbm_au and subscribe to our mailing list at anxiousfaith.org.

This community wouldn’t have grown and flourished without the generosity and vulnerability of guests we’ve had the privilege of hearing from. It’s through their stories that our own lives—and we hope yours, too—have been encouraged and enriched. We’ve listed the names of each podcast guest we’ve heard from here below, and we’d like to take a moment to honour each of you.

If you’ve been impacted by the stories we’ve shared or you’re curious to know more about what our ministry is up to now, both here in Australia and globally, we’d love to hear from you — you can get in touch with us or find out more about our heart and mission at odb.org.

On behalf of all of us—James, Maddy, Ethan & Stephen—it’s been a privilege to walk alongside you these past four years. We can’t wait to start sharing what’s next, and we hope you’ll stick around to find out!
