Episode notes

The rise of smartphones and technology is a huge causal factor in the rise of anxiety combined with social media. The structures that they had built to respond to a natural human occurrence were constructed poorly, he says. "What we have erected in response to anxiety needs to get rebuilt"

One cannot make sense of the deformation of the current conservative movement without understanding immigration. And one cannot grasp the nature of immigration without understanding anxiety. Like most political issues today, the topic of immigration is bathed in anxiety - for everyone on all sides. Curtis draws these connections, with the ultimate aim to show that Christians can uniquely contribute to the conversation about immigration because we have uniquely good news about anxiety. This episode draws from Curtis’ talk at a convening of the National Immigration Forum in Ohio that included local pastors and civic leaders.
