In this episode of This vs. That we talk with our friend Deepak Reju about the topic of Anxiety vs. Fear. We discuss the spectrum of anxiety, from low-grade anxiety to panic attacks, and the words associated with anxiety, such as worry, stress, and concern. We also try to highlight distinctions between fear from anxiety and explain the biblical fear of the Lord. The conversation also touches on what Jesus experienced in the garden of Gethsemane.
