Panic Meet Peace
Welcome to Panic Meet Peace, the faith-based podcast for Christian women who are exhausted from carrying the invisible weight of anxiety. Have you ever cried in the shower so your kids wouldn’t hear? Do you lay awake at night, googling symptoms and fearing the worst? Are you constantly showing up for everyone—your family, your job, your church—but feel like you’re falling apart inside? If you’ve ever whispered, “God, I love You, but I can’t keep living like this,” then you are not alone—and this podcast was created just for you. I’m Ashanti Aisha—a Christian minister, mother, and former anxiety sufferer who once wore the mask of ”strong woman” while secretly battling daily panic attacks. I didn’t want medication, couldn’t afford therapy, and felt ashamed that faith alone didn’t seem to be working. But everything changed when I partnered with God in a new way. In this podcast, I open up about my journey from panic to peace, and show you how faith in God can be more than just a belief—it can be a practical, powerful strategy for emotional healing. Every episode of Panic Meet Peace offers biblical wisdom, real-life strategies, expert interviews, and Spirit-led encouragement to help you silence fear and stabilize your thoughts. You’ll learn how to root and ground your faith, focus your thoughts on truth, protect your peace from anxiety triggers, and take bold, faith-filled action in your daily life. These are the same pillars that helped me—and will help you—build a life that isn’t shaken by circumstances. Here, you won’t find shame, sugarcoating, or surface-level advice. You’ll find biblical truths, emotional validation, and a path to lasting freedom from anxiety—without therapy, medication, or spiritual burnout. Whether you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or just searching for peace in the middle of a storm, Panic Meet Peace will help you reclaim your joy, reignite your faith, and rebuild a life of calm confidence, God’s way. If you’re ready to stop coping and start conquering anxiety by faith—this is your safe space.

Welcome back to the Panic Meet Peace podcast! I am so glad you are here.
Today we are walking through 3 questions you can ask yourself to help you pray specific and intentional prayers.
Specific, intentional prayers are the most powerful and effective. Instead of beating around the bush with general requests, we can invite God into our deepest, inner-most desires and needs.
Pinpointing your requests to God is a valuable tool forr:
1. overcoming anxiety,
2. gaining peace of mind,
3. expressing your worries and cares, and
4. releasing all that stresses you over to the one who can handle it.
God wants to hear from you today. Open your heart and give it all to Him. He's waiting on it!
Oh, and in case no one tells you today, my friend, there is no such thing as a perfect prayer! So get to it!

Hey you!
On a scale of 1 to 5, one being the least and five being the best, how has your week been?
Now, review your answer to that question, and answer this one:
How often did you read your Bible this week?
Be truthful! And if you haven't done all you wanted to, don't attach any shame to your answer. (and if you have, don't attach any pride 😉)
My goal here is not to make you feel bad, but to help you get to the next level in your faith!
Full disclosure: Reading the Bible, does not inherently make your week any better.
HOWEVER.
It does give you the tools you need to do just that!
The best part about reading your Bible is that you don't have to read a whole bunch of it to grow your faith.
It just takes just a little, teeny bit. (insert R-E-S-P-E-C-T's chorus just a little bit")
I know reading the Word of God can feel daunting or challenging.
But it is so VITAL for your life and faith in God. (Something vital means absolutely necessary.)
Today, you are dumping your Bible scaries, and dipping your big toe into the pool of God's beautiful Word.
Let's get started!

New Year Resolutions got you bummed? Not really sure what to hope for or lean into? No worries, friend. I've got you!

Yes, this podcast is about faith. But it's also about self-help and mental health. Which means, you're going to have to put in some work to achieve this goal!

4 Steps to Prepare for the future:
1. Establish your faith
2. Focus on your faith

It's Thanksgiving, so I don't want to take up all your time, but I do want to speak to those of you who are just here hanging out, looking for ways to overcome anxiety.
Still, you're saying, hey, Thanksgiving is going on, but that doesn't mean anxiety is stopped.
I got you. I feel you. And I want to talk to you today, very briefly, about the science and the FAITH of how anxiety can be healed through gratitude.
Are you ready? Let's dive in! Happy Thanksgiving!

It's the end of November, and we are in full-holiday swing! Prepping groceries, menus, guests, travel plans, and all the wonderful.... and tiring.... festivities.
But, has anyone else felt a bit burnt out lately? It just seems like the end of the year crept up on us and is swiftly passing by. I don't know about you, but in seasons of burn out like this, I start to feel distant from God. That alone lets the door open for every ounce of anxiety waiting to pounce on me.
YET. God, in all his infinite knowledge and power, has already given us the resources we need to access his rest and peace. And all it takes to obtain it is 15 minutes!
Today's episode is a shorty but goody. Let's get into it!

Hey friend.
What a week it's been! Am I right?
Coming down off the election in the U.S. definitely felt like getting off of a roller coaster of anxiety.
But, this got me thinking: What am I so anxious about?
I could have selected all the reasons that seemed obvious, but none of those were exactly hitting the nail on the head (so to speak.)
So what could be causing me anxiety, really?
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God,"
Philippians 4:6
Reading this verse reminds me that I get to decide whether to be anxious or not.
Which means, the reason I was anxious was because someone else was making the decisions! (mic drop!)
So today's episode is a break down of what this all really means.

Hey You.
Zoom out for a minute. Take a look at your life. What do you see?
Do you see joy? Do you see pain? Do you see goodness or struggle? Is it a mix of both?
What if I told you that most of what we go through in life is generated by our own words? (gasp!)
Here, I'll share a scripture to prove it:
"Life and death are in the power of the tongue. And they that love it, will eat the fruit thereof."
Proverbs 18:21
Remember when I asked you to take a look at your life? How much of it did you see come from your words?
How many things do you think manifested in your life just by what you said?
The important thing to note here about this verse is that both life and death are in the power of the words we speak.
Which means, once again, we can choose which one we want to be in our life!
And if you're life looks a little more dismal that you intended and you want to change it, then may I suggest the first step: changing your language.
Sometimes we don't know the right words to say or where to begin. God's word is full of life-giving vocabulary that is more than fitting for you. Feel free to do like my 5 year old does to me, and play "copy-cat" with God! He loves this game! (probably a little bit more than me. :)
In today's episode, I share 3 powerful scriptures to focus on and declare over your life every single day.
You can change your life and break free of anxiety! Start speaking life today, and watch God's Word, work. Love you!

Listen friend. I am aware of the USA election coming up. I know there are wars upon wars, devastating storms, and destruction in every corner of the earth. BUT. There is another war raging right now, that can't be seen, and it's happening in so many of us: ANXIETY.
This podcast is all about how to win the war against anxiety in our minds and bodies through faith. While it seems crazy to shift focus from all of that, AND tell you to hope for the future, I have to do it. I would rather be CRAZY for believing God, than wise for not. So, if you have been feeling anxious, worried, stressed, depressed, or overwhelmed by the weight of the future, then this episode is for you!
These 2 future shaping questions are going to help you find your God-given purpose in a lost world, and give you a renewed strength for today. Whatever burdens you carry, I pray that you will surrender them at God's feet today, and take His yoke upon you...
"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." - Jesus
Get out your journals, notepads, vision boards, mood boards, and all of the above because it's going to be GOOD!
