How do we mediate? When that happens to us, howDo we mediate that? And then the second part of the question is what is the role of self-care in managing our anxiety? So one of the ways to mediate it is actually the exercise that you all just went through. It's a form of grounding or mindfulness activity. The reason self-care is important is because self- care is a lifestyle.

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.
