Escondido, CA Catholic Event | February 11, 2020 and/or February 12, 2020 | St. Timothy’s Catholic Church | Lisa Brenninkmeyer – “WWP Live”

February 2, 2020 By Thomas Schmierer, Catholic Therapist, LMFT

WWP Live is coming to the Escondido, CA area! 

The Founder and Chief Purpose Officer of Walking with Purpose, Lisa Brenninkmeyer, will touch your heart with her all-new talk:

Hallelujah Anyway
Discovering Good Despite Anxiety

Recent research shows that almost 40% of Americans are more anxious now than they were at this time last year. Anxiety affects 1 in 8 children in the US and 18% of adults. If you don’t personally struggle with it, then someone close to you does. Is it possible to find good in this current state of reality without sticking your head in the sand? Join us as we delve into this important topic. You’ll leave feeling better equipped to discuss it, face it, and move forward. When God promised His people a peace that passes understanding, He didn’t say, “unless you live in 21st Century America.” This is a profound issue and the questions surrounding it aren’t easily answered. But together, we can move forward to a place of emotional rest and spiritual security.

Wednesday, February 12 at 10:00 AM
Church of St. Timothy
2960 Canyon Rd, Escondido, CA 92025

Reception and book signing following the talk. Bring your friends; it will be a wonderful night out!

This event will also be held on Tuesday, February 11 at 7:00 PM. Purchase tickets to the February 11 event here or the event on the 12th here.
