STRONGER THAN STRESS: 10 SPIRITUAL PRACTICES TO WIN THE BATTLE OF OVERWHELM WITH BARB ROOSE
Episode 139
Stronger Than Stress: Finding Peace in the Pace of Jesus
In this powerful episode, Dr. Vickie sits down with author, Bible teacher, and speaker Barb Roose to talk about chronic stress, spiritual surrender, and how women can reclaim peace through practical faith. Barb shares candid stories from her life—including parenting through addiction, walking through unanswered prayers, and even discovering dangerously low hemoglobin on the day of her book launch. Her message? You are not meant to carry it all alone.
Barb breaks down her new book, Stronger Than Stress: 10 Spiritual Practices to Win the Battle of Overwhelm, and offers a vivid, grace-filled roadmap for how to live at a healthier, more purposeful pace. From letting go of control to anchoring your day with just one spiritual habit, Barb’s voice is both encouraging and empowering.
This conversation blends neuroscience, scripture, and lifestyle medicine into a message of real hope—because chronic stress doesn’t just hijack your schedule, it hijacks your health.
