Episode notes

Anxiety is foundational to understanding any of your disciplines, right? Let's think about topics that academically, any university, but Christian college would need to address. If you don't address anxiety, you're not addressing the true decision maker, you know, race. The anxiety goes too high up there before everybody, people of color and white people,. So we need to build up our response to anxiety if we're going to talk about race.

Host Curtis Chang and regular guest David French discuss what young Christians need to be formed for thriving. In this far ranging conversation, they explore negative partisanship, the fruits of the spirit, the revival at Asbury, and how Christians should best interact with the world through politics. Also, Curtis describes how anxiety is a surprising underlying cause of the political acrimony and divisiveness that plagues our culture today. This special Good Faith podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, a higher education association of more than 185 Christian institutions around the world.
