"I was just, I felt like I was in over my head. And the way I cope with anxiety is as that little three and a half year old does," he says. "That's when my, I cannot shut my brain down because I'm thinking of how do I deal with this?" He went through a two week period where he did not fall asleep consciously at all. The harshest symptoms of that anxiety went away after taking meds or seeing a therapist.

One cannot make sense of the deformation of the current conservative movement without understanding immigration. And one cannot grasp the nature of immigration without understanding anxiety. Like most political issues today, the topic of immigration is bathed in anxiety - for everyone on all sides. Curtis draws these connections, with the ultimate aim to show that Christians can uniquely contribute to the conversation about immigration because we have uniquely good news about anxiety. This episode draws from Curtis’ talk at a convening of the National Immigration Forum in Ohio that included local pastors and civic leaders.
