Episode notes

Generalized anxiety is just that overall feeling of angst where in order for it to be diagnosed clinically, it needs to be excessive. When we cross over into diagnosis, it's to the point that it negatively impacts your life. So you can't move through your day-to-day activities without the thoughts coming uncontrollably. You also cannot figure out how to distill them down into a state of this is okay and I can walk myself through.

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.
