Episode notes
Anxiety as a Symptom
- Anxiety is a growing problem, not just a feeling to dismiss.
- It's a symptom of a deeper issue, like smoke indicating a fire.
Jesus's Diagnostic Approach
- Jesus doesn't just tell us to stop being anxious.
- He identifies the root cause and provides solutions, unlike a car's check engine light.
Check Engine Light Analogy
- J.D. Greer's car's check engine light offered no specific guidance.
- This contrasts with Jesus's approach to diagnosing and addressing anxiety.
