Beyond “Having More Faith”: What Christians Can’t Ignore About Anxiety

    • Listen on:

In our last podcast episode, Scott and Shawn discussed how to think like Jesus about anxiety — specifically about managing worry.

But there is another side of anxiety that needs to be addressed because anxiousness is not always restricted to the level of our conscious thinking. Sometimes there is more to it, and it is not solved by simply thinking it away or just having “more faith”.

In today’s podcast episode, Scott and Shawn take a look at anxiety through the lens of science and the Bible to understand its relationship to the human body — and, they consider how Jesus and other biblical characters dealt with the very real, physical aspects of anxiety.

    Great podcast episode! I’m brand new here. Have you done a follow up to this episode yet? Reason I’m asking is that I want to hear more about what Jesus would say to this generation who is so soaked in the constant stressor of social media and how to “think like Jesus“ in the midst.

    Great podcast episode! I’m brand new here. Did you do a follow up to this episode where you talk more about how Jesus would think about the long-term stressor of social media for today’s generation? You mentioned it but so far I haven’t been able to find it. Thanks!
