Peter Burton: Anxiety, Faith, and God’s Sustaining Power: Page 254

Peter Burton was a young kid with a loving family and a faith-filled childhood, but by middle school, anxiety and OCD began to creep into his life. For years, therapy and treatment helped him manage, but by the time he hit adulthood, the weight of fear and panic attacks became overwhelming. As a worship pastor, he would lead people in songs about God’s goodness, then get in his car and break down in tears. He begged God to heal him, but healing didn’t come. In this episode of The Unfolding, Peter shares his journey through anxiety, the questions that challenged his faith, and the discovery of a God who sustains even in the hardest seasons. Peter is a singer, songwriter, and worship leader who recently signed with Integrity Music and Matthew West’s Story House Collective.

“All these years later, that baseball has become an anchor for my faith.” As a boy growing up in poverty on the South Side of Chicago, Mike Signorelli found escape in baseball.
