The Christian Path and Anxiety, Part 2

“No, no! Jesus didn’t experience anxiety!” we might say. I think this is a reaction to quickly judging emotions as bad and untrustworthy. Consider Christ’s prayer in the garden, as he neared death. We read quite disturbing words from Luke: “And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground”.

Keeping Kardia

I'm no etymologist, but words fascinate me. Kardia, in many of its uses, has captivated my attention for a long time.  As a Bible student, kardia appears multiple times as the Greek word for heart. 

Not the organ that pumps blood through your body. Kardia is the figurative core of your being.  It is the seat and center of human life, emotion, volitional will. It is the "causative source of one's psychological life in its various aspects." All that to say, your heart is a huge deal and deserves attention and care!

You and Your Child's COVID-19 Anxiety Survival Guide: Part 1

I have become intimately acquainted with the feelings of fear and anxiety throughout the course of my life. I can distinctly recall the first asthma attack that I had on the soccer field as a small child… the jolt of panic, the surge of adrenaline, the fight-or-flight response propelling me to seek out my mother for help. This occurrence on the soccer field set in motion my life-long battle with anxiety, particularly about my breathing. Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish between what “feels” like I can’t breathe versus when I really am not breathing well.
