Episode notes

As you breathe in, I want you to invite you to just say the word Jesus. Try that. If you were really engaging in that practice for that last one minute, 69 seconds, you were not feeling anxious. And this is another opportunity that anxiety brings to us, to be present to the Father, the Father himself personally. So as spiritual leaders, let's look for ways to help our people get present"

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.
