How to Deal With Highly Functional Anxiety

As an eight year old, I developed very elaborate coping mechanisms to try to say, oh, this is how I will get enough data so that to deal with my anxieties. That's what I think that was part of not the only reason, but part of the reason why I did well in school is because my anxiety drove me to be very functional and to plan to anticipate things. And so I got into Harvard, did well at Harvard. Then I felt called to ministry and he went to work in campus ministry first. And then after that became the pastor of an evangelical covenant church out here in California.
