Incredible Advice on Battling Anxiety from Skillet's Jen Ledger | Coffee Talk 

Jen is an amazing woman who doesn’t give up. I admire her so much

I don’t just struggle with anxiety. I struggle with being a Christian. But this video helped me a lot. Thanks Skillet and Ledger

Wow. I REALLY needed this today. It’s a miracle it just popped up on my RU-vid feed. I was at work... trying to interact with customers with a smile, but on the inside I felt like chaos. Anxiety consumed me. I couldn’t stop gritting my teeth & clenching my fists. I stopped to take a break and was scrolling through my RU-vid feed, when this video popped up. I clicked on it immediately- not even realizing that it was the drummer from one of my favorite bands as a teenager. Tears of peace and relief streamed down my face as I was reminded of TRUTH: I am not alone. I am not helpless. Jesus is enough, and He is with me. He is drawn to my weakness, and He is still able to use me for His glory. You have inspired yet another person to keep on fighting. Thank you!

God has given Jen so many talents. Totally awesome drummer, singer and person. Jen Ledger, you are so loved by so many of your friends and fans. Keep doing what you are doing. You are encouraging to many!

"I rejoice in the fact that I'm not good enough, I rejoice in the fact that I'm broken.. Yet He still chooses me! I'm not good enough, I'm not strong, but He is with me, and He is." Great word, really hit me hard. Thank you, and just know that I look up to you and that you are the one that got me into drums (have been playing 3-1/2 years now)

I love the fact that she is sooo anti-Rock star. She is so open about her struggles that it calms me down.

She called John legendary. A month later, Skillet releases Legendary...notice something?

I met Jen once at Winter Jam and she is so humble and sweet. I look up to her so much as she is my favorite singer/drummer and role model! Keep it up Jen!!! 😊

Struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for years but God gave me a dream where, instead of me being chased by the enemy, I turned around and started chasing him. Proximity to Jesus is ALWAYS the answer, and like Jen said, when we are weak, He is strong!

"What do I do with my arms and legs.?" I love it!

I love Jen's quote of simply not giving up, "Fight by just getting up, fight by going out when you don't want to, fight by talking to someone when everything in you is saying I don't want to, I'm anxious."-Jen Ledger Jen, I love what you do and how you go about it, please stay they way you are and keep doing what God has intended for you to do in this world of ours. God you bless Jen and can't wait to see and hear your music live in concert in July.

Beautiful So many people don't understand that anxiety is mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Thank you so much for this video

I ❤️Jen because she is beautiful, sweet, kind, encouraging, wonderful, and compassionate!

1:26 Jen says he's Legendary... now please check out Skillet's new song lol :D

I started learning drums about 3 years ago because I thought Jen was cool, and now, 3 years later, I have the God given ability to sing and play drums at the same time. God sparked that fire through Jen, and I have nothing but thanks for her

Having a crush on this drummer for a long time now. This is actually the first time I hear her speak, that accent tho😍

"Iam not gonna regret like the fact that i went for it but i might regret the fact that i never tried cause i was too scared" -Jen

Jen is really helping a lot this young generation! It’s easy to see how you’re strongly working along with him. Massive inspiration. Love you Jen.

You can tell Jen has a relationship with Christ just by the way she treats people. She only lives to help people and spread the love of Christ.We need more people like her.

I met Jen Ledger 4 times she is so humble and sweet and kind!! She inspires me to work hard on my own music see what God wants me to do with my music which is share my message and my music to lost souls in this world and honor Gods name!!!🙌🙌🙌 I thank Jen for getting me through my anxiety and depression. Saying my God is so awesome and can help me fight my battles!👊

I have anxiety around people Jen and Skillet helped me through tough times I even wanna start to play drums because of her. 😁

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Having suffered a massive anxiety attack yesterday and doubting my abilities to get through what is needed from me this video gave me so much hope. Thank you both Blessed sisters in Christ.

I love the emphasis she is placing on the Word of God, and how she talked about searching the scriptures. This is the key!

Her song Warrior is what got me through my most anxiety inducing time period the last couple years

Thanks for this message. I never thought that you, Jen, suffered with any of these you spoke in this coffee talk. We have to fight every day, every hour... and we have to realize where we stand.. and we are standing on solid rock of Jesus. Keep fighting and may the God give you strength and blessing for you and your work you're doing.

She is so kind and talented, really an amazing girl, especially because she's also a Christian

Beautiful inside and out

"Comparison will kill you, cripple you" I needed that...

Jen's message what her song "Not dead yet" really means is that fear and anxiety is very real. Being weak and broken is not a bad thing it's just that we have to push ourselves a little bit harder to get want we want. Its standing up for what you believe in because who will. She says that God gave her this because she was weak but He knew that she could do it if she pushed herself to knock out the fear. I just discovered a quote "Don't assume loud is strong and quiet is weak." it's facing your fears and getting back up when you fail. Failing teaches you to never give up and keep fighting. Great interview! Very motivating and inspiring. Jen is a great role model to many. Keep rocking Jen!

I have absolutely LOVED Skillet for years. I've seen them ROCK Winter Jam a couple times. I just heard Forever or the End & I thought the female was Halsey. So, I had to check & learned it's Jen Ledger. She's an AMAZING drummer, & I love her voice. This is the first interview I've ever seen of her, & I truly love her faith, her strength, & her beautiful heart. Now I'm going to watch Jen's Not Dead Yet.

I just love when God uses the RU-vid algorithm to bring me to the exact video I needed to watch. Song battles led to coffee tasting and led to me subscribing and finding this video on your channel. I've always battled a cycle of stress (getting stressed out by demanding too much of myself and not asking God for help or guidance) but never battled anxiety until a 3-month mission trip I did in Japan last year. I thought it was culture shock and reverse culture shock, but it really had way more to do with not knowing the future and not having control over that future. It came back at the end of May and I fought it for a solid week. This past week, it returned and I've been fighting again. Jen's words are so true. I believe God is walking with me through this journey so that I can finally learn how much he truly does love me and just how powerful and kind he really is. Thank you God, and thank you Jen for sharing from your heart! Just get back up. Keep getting back up. Never stay down. Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 34:4

Thanks. I'm 20 and I struggle anxiety for years... I dont feel alone, music gives me strengh . I love you Jen❤

This is the second time I watched a video where she mentions her conversations with korey and everytime she says “then you fight Jen, as long as there is breath in your lungs you fight” I feel the tearsss😭💜🖤

I saw Ledger and Skillet at Kingdom Bound on July 24th 2022. She did her set for about 45 mins then doing the set with Skillet for another 1hour and a half. She is phenomenal. Thank you Jen for using your God given talent.

I am one of the "learning drums" because of Jen 😂😂😂❤

God spoke to me through your testimony. Thank you Jen.

I remember when she first came to skillet, me and my friends had some reservations because we all loved the old drummer, especially in the comatose CD. When we heard she was an 18 year old, first thing we actually said was "is she hot" lol. Now, I can't imagine skillet without her amazing voice and incredible drum playing. Not to mention she's absolutely beautiful

I felt something after I watched this I haven’t touched my bible in a long time I didn’t know where to find that verse but I just wanna say thank you Jen really I have anxiety and hearing this helped me alot

God blesses humility, and Jen's a humble blessing to everyone!

Living with anxiety and depression sucks but through god I can do all things.

Don't know why I stopped here, but Jen, I can relate to what you said. Thank you.

I feel empowered af now!! God is so amazing!!!

That there is, "one beautiful soul!"

This video really got through to me. I needed to hear this and I'm so thankful that you were able to share this so eloquently and confidently. Your experiences and choices were what made this video happen, and God directed me toward it so that I could find the strength and wisdom that I need in my life. Thank you for doing this, thank you for continuing to fight, thank you for sharing your testimony, and thank you for being you. God bless all of you.

My ex fiance sabotaged our relationship in fear of her insecurities do to anxiety and fear. I don't hold it against her I still love her as a person. This interview is amazing and is really informative on how no one should see being "broken " as a weakness but an opportunity to rise up and be proud of every internal battle you win no matter the size. Everyone has an internal war, it's the small victorys that count.

She is so beautiful. Her face is perfect, as are her singing skills.

Skillet is literally a gift from god. If it wasn’t for them this world wouldn’t exist.

Jen is so awesome! So glad I was able to meet her.

My depression and anxiety has definitely made me feel not worth it to God, and how could I call myself a Christian if I could be struggling with these things forever? Thank you so much Jen Ledger for speaking out on this, and for being an incredibly humble person. You have inspired me. And so, we fight!

This girl is a legend! Drummer ,singer and beautiful person , Well done Jen ❤️

Such a cool sweet person!!

Jen is amazing and super talented. God bless this woman will the gates of gold

This speaks so true to me. I love how God works in amazing ways. Fear feels so crazy impossible but God is bigger than the impossible.

This is so refreshing. I love how she’s trusting the Lord, and how she’s able to recognize that we’re nothing without Him. God bless her soul!! 😊❤️💕

She's so sweet, an unsung national UK treasure. I'm not religious but I could listen to her talk for hours.

When I'm feeling down, I always listen to their songs to cheer me up, they also give me motivation. I'm so happy skillet exists, thank you Jen and everyone from the Skillet band for existing 🙂

She is so beautiful and genuine

Jen is literally a voice of inspiration like, she speaks someones inspired, she's that good.

I used to have bad anxiety as a teenager and adult in my 20's. But in my 30's now and close to 40's, it just went away. Though if I am around a group of people then it goes up but not like I am having a anxiety attack. God bless Jen, she definitely knows what she's talking about and puts her trust in God.

She's so amazing. Blessed with so much talent. Love listening to her.

Talking about giving all the glory to the Lord... Love Jen!!! God Bless You.

THANK YOU MY BLESSED JEN ! I'm Not Alone ! Thank You Jesus !

I am not a man of the Faith but from hearing your music be it Skillet or even Ledger I see things a lot clearer. Not dead yet is also an amazing song. You are very talented if I am going to go down I am going to go down swinging.

Jen is an amazing vocalist!

I’ve been lucky to have met his wonderful queen!! She’s awesome🤍

Jen is seriously number 1 favorite drummer. She's one of the main reasons I play today!

I have so much respect for Jen, I look up to her and she is so amazing 😌 so much talent in her drumming and vocals

Of course I don't know her but I can really relate to her anxiety. You have to fight through it. I definitely have respect for her just keep fighting and keep faith.

So good! Just get out of bed, stand and fight. Thanks, Jen. :)

not dead yet is just a really good song because it shows how she will not give up and nobody should give up

She’s such a sweet person, I really love her! 😍❤️

Wow girl, you are simply amazing!!! Excellent advice, you are such a great role model and an amazing person. I only wish I was as strong as you.

When you walk in righteusness... this "voice" is to fight. It is as small as this, very small actually! It seems like a big side effect, but say again: "Thank You, God, that You choose me for this; such a great blessing!" Speak admiration about your function! I know this personally. Respect! ♡ I hope and pray you receive it. It really works a bit as absurd... when we (from where?) question our strength! It doesn't deserve more place as just butterflies; seriously :) You Are Loved and perfect the way you are! An awesome woman. I love Skillet & love Ledger!

She is not only an amazing woman... she is and amazing person in general 🤘🏻

Skillet was the band that got me into rock and that made love singing again. These guys are all inspirational.

This testimony is powerful and I appreciate it so much because It reflects a lot of my own personal struggles, especially past with anxiety. It feels good to know we're not alone on this and it's beautiful how God uses it for His glory and to develop us into what we couldn't even imagine.

Beautiful wisdom. Encouraging and inspiring! Thank you for fighting ♥️

This shows how one being can be immensely inspiring

😂😂i am a huge music fan since my elementary days..the first time I heard Jen sing was with skillet the song awake and alive and heard your voice and said to myself...your voice is iconic and amazing with powerful energy...so it is no surprise to me you now have a solo career... You Rock and keep up your amazing musical career!!

You and Skillet have been a God send to all people, to help people where they are to finally be healed where they have been broken!

Jen, I really needed to hear this. Talk about tears in my eyes. You have no clue how you just helped me.

Skillet is such an awesome band.

Wow. Just wow. Thanks! I needed that!

as soon as i finish listening myself i'm sending this to my bestie!

Jen is such a strong woman 🙌🏻 respect

I dealt with fear too but God complety healed me !

Great interview. The host kept things moving along without dominating the conversation.

I've been struggling for over a year now, but it comes in segments. Comes and goes, comes and goes, comes and goes. Like February of this year was so scary, but then March was an amazing month! I've felt like I'm doing something wrong because I'm telling myself I should be healed now... but I'm not. God's still working on putting my broken heart back together. This video helped me see that... thank you.

O my God! She described me! I am also called to praise God, the enemy always told me, you're not good enough, look at you, the woman if faith and the real me. I'm 17 and I'm so glad for the words she spoke, I've also been dealing with panic attack, my mind would wipe out and blow up and I was so ashamed to tell any one, I was 13 and it got so bad I told my parents when I was 14. YES to everything she said about the word and God! AMEN! It make such a victorious difference when we strive for God and don't let the devil have victory.

She is so talented

Thank you, your story resonates with me deeply.

What a beautiful, beautiful message Jen. Thank you for sharing your heart and vulnerability to us. Love your music (skillet as well) and look forward to hearing more from you

7:15 Same happen to me and many.panic attacks can be horrible, but it has a purpose.

I think ive have had a crush on Ledger since the first album, she is just so awesome and passionate with what she is doing.

My favorite drummer and singer

I saw her perform at Winter Jam a few weeks before this video in Reading, PA and even got lucky enough to meet her after the show! She was amazing, I never would’ve known she was nervous! Hands down she was my favorite artist of the tour.

Amen Jen! Thank you for surrendering to God's will. I so enjoy your work and efforts.

I have all her songs on my phone and I listen to them literally every day, they're so amazing

Love her voice! God bless you Jen!
