Episode notes

Jesus doesn't respond to the anxiety, to our desire for a reliable provision of future what's with that future scenario. Jesus is trying to evoke a shift here from our desire, natural desire in the face of anxiety to want what's. And he's saying, I'm giving you something better. In fact, I'm bringing you present to the heavenly Father, right? We want to be a who with our kids. God is not just a heavenly supply chain. God is a Father, the presence.

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.
