Ministry in Motion

Because of where and when we live,  we’re kinda scripted to be anxious.  I’ve read that the USA is now the most anxious nation in the world — this is a costly achievement.  But thankfully Jesus does not share our anxiety. However, many of our brothers and sisters in Christ, do.  Anxiety is not fun: It can twist us like an emotional Bavarian pretzel; It takes our breath away; Our heads hurt; Our armpits sweat like a leaking faucet.   How can this be? Our cars are safer than ever. We regulate industries like no other country. If worry was an olympic event, we would win the gold medal hands down!  What's up with this? Last Wednesday  we began chatting about anxiety and its relevance  to our faith and journey.  We will continue our conversation this week, September 22nd @ 7pm.   With us, y ou’ll find space to  ask questions, share your thoughts and develop authentic relationships. Because of the Delta variant, which is more infections and spreads faster than earlier forms of the virus

Anxiety. I know, I know, as faith walkers we are not to be anxious. So we re-word our being anxious and say rather: It’s just a low-grade trepidation; I’m experiencing an edginess; It’s not being anxious, but a dread or the  'willies'  - I’m having a feeling. So we don’t sleep well. We don’t laugh as often. We forget how to enjoy the sun, the stars and the moon. We no longer play …   Anxiety has its reasons, we reason: Airplanes fall out of the sky; Viruses are real; Bull markets go bear; The other shoe will fall. It’s all jut a matter of time, we conclude, so we worry. We are anxious about being anxious. And should this creep into our journey of faith, we might even say: Connect with us on Wednesday September 15th @ 7pm for an interactive discussion.  With us, y ou’ll find space to  ask questions, share your thoughts and develop authentic relationships.
