Episode notes

There is no limit because it's not my philosophy. It's the gospel, it's Jesus's promise about what we are promised in him,. The restoration of all things from all losses, including the most grievous, most painful loss, which is death. And that's true for the most extreme of our losses. We are called to hold that loss with the resurrection promise.

Curtis Chang, the regular host of the Good Faith podcast, takes a turn in the “guest seat” in this special episode in which Nancy French interviews him about his new book, The Anxiety Opportunity: How Worry Is the Doorway to Your Best Self. Curtis, who has suffered from anxiety to the point of losing his job as a senior pastor, offers up hard-earned wisdom that could transform one’s view on parenting, relationships, and even politics. Curtis also talks about the way the church gets anxiety wrong, how Jesus dealt with anxious people, and how grieving is a necessary component of effectively walking through loss.
