The Anatomy of Anxiety: God’s Prescription for Victory in Anxiety Robert W. Kellemen, Ph.D. www.rpmministries.org
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
Helping Lovingly and Wisely • Our GPS of Truth and Love, Scripture and Soul • Empathy
Helping Lovingly and Wisely • Encouragement • Exposure • Empowerment

Comprehensive Dynamic Care: Philippians 4—A Running Commentary • 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!
The Big Question: So What? • What will you do differently in your life and • ministry because of this hour on victory in • anxiety?
