We all need a silver lining in the midst of a dark time.  I'm talking about some of my favorites from this COVID-19 pandemic, including: trends in podcasting, prayer, and spiritual awakening... the rise of my own anxiety and what I've learned about my faith...  the increased compassion for the homebound, imprisoned, and minorites. 

Also, my favorite blooper from the office was talked about on John Krasinski's new YouTube show.  It's time stamped in the link below.

Steve Cuss joins us with an extremely helpful perspective and practical insights into identifying some of the sources of our anxiety.  Because they often come in similar patterns, it gives us the power to recognize them and work through them, especially in light of the Gospel.  Steve is a pastor of a church near Denver Colorado, and has a book on leadership I highly recommend.

Anxiety has very obvious and predictable patterns.  Once you understand them, you'll be able to more easily recognize when anxiety is driving your life or the culture around you.  Dr. Greg Mitchell is one of my closest friends and mentors and now you get to benefit from his amazing wisdom.  Of all the episodes on my channel... THIS IS A MUST LISTEN.

Have you ever wondered where anxiety begins?  I take a look through the lens of biblical theology and psychology to trace the idea of anxiety into something we can all relate to.

The term anxiety is one that is used so widely and broadly it can almost become a place holder for just about any negative emotion or experience.  It makes an important topic very convoluted and confusing.  I have found incredible insight and wisdom from Family Systems Theory, otherwise known as Bowen Theory, which offers a great perspective on the idea of anxiety and its role in our lives.  Although this is a secular psychological theory, I have found that it articulates some things really well that align with my Christian theology.

When Norman Nakanishi was confronted with either attending a porn festival or failing a college course, Norman Nakanishi had a difficult decision to make.  It was a moment that marked his life and set his life and has shaped his relationship with Jesus and his leadership ever since.  Norman is now the Senior Pastor of Grace Bible Church on Oahu.  They have planted multiple churches and congregations around the Island, mainland and oversees.

It was the Fall of 1998 and I was just vacuuming my dorm room in peace.  I had no idea that the knock I heard on the door was about to forever change my life and eternity.  Join me for this trip down memory lane with one of the most important people in my life, Tory Campbell, and hear the encouraging story of what happens when a little bit of faith and boldness steps out to see what God might do.

Ep #18: What do you do with doctrinal disagreements within the church?  How do you handle the controversial issues of our day?  The 4 D's represent things that we are willing to "Die for, Divide for, Debate for, and Decide for."  Dr. Gerry Breshears has been an academic advisor and personal mentor to my life, and his presence within the body of Christ crosses all kinds of boundaries that few people are able to do.  His wisdom and spirit of humility and unity is worth learning from.
