Alarm and fear give out like sprinting the first mile of a marathon. The alarm in fear based motivation is designed for immediate action. And i think that it's one of the reasons why that kind of action, which works very well in the short term, is ends. You end up with diminishing returns. It just requires ever more injection of ne fear, more alarm,. Because you're exhausted, so you got to ramp up the adrinal glands even more. This is cycle that we're in, and it's unstainable.

It’s been an eventful week, and for many a deeply troubling one. But of course, no matter what end of the political spectrum you come from, weeks like this seem increasingly common. The hits just keep on coming, as do the feelings of loss and fear. So how are we as Christians to navigate such deeply troubled times? This week, David and Curtis dive into this question with some interesting thoughts from Rudyard Kipling, and some even more important (and eternal) wisdom from the Psalms.
