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!

How do we collectively move forward as parents to ensure the mental well being of our children (and even ourselves)?
