We are a culture well acquainted with anxiety. Recent years have shown it rising dramatically, particularly among Generation Z and Millennials, but affecting all of us. In the Sermon on the Mount, however, Jesus urges us not to be anxious. We wonder: is that actually possible today?
Author Alan Fadling joined us for a recent online conversation, where we explored these questions for a live audience:
“Maybe Peace, and its friends like Hope and Joy, maybe that’s a better engine, maybe that’s a better source of energy and motivation than my anxiety ever has been. And if my anxiety is fuel, then it’s fuel that burns dirty.”
