Curtis and I are diametrically opposed on the anxiety scale. Curtis has a high level of anxiety, but he was able to help me with this book. The book is really fantastic. It has some spiritual insights that I've never heard as it pertains to anxiety. But for anybody who's actually taken the course, the book is like mostly new material,. still based on some of the core concepts.
Curtis Chang, the regular host of the Good Faith podcast, takes a turn in the “guest seat” in this special episode in which Nancy French interviews him about his new book, The Anxiety Opportunity: How Worry Is the Doorway to Your Best Self. Curtis, who has suffered from anxiety to the point of losing his job as a senior pastor, offers up hard-earned wisdom that could transform one’s view on parenting, relationships, and even politics. Curtis also talks about the way the church gets anxiety wrong, how Jesus dealt with anxious people, and how grieving is a necessary component of effectively walking through loss.
