Episode 53: Redeeming Anxiety: How the Fear of Loss Can Be An Opportunity for Gain with Curtis Chang

What if some of our problems were never meant to be solved or eliminated? What if we began reframing some problems as opportunities for knowing Jesus more? In this episode, author and former pastor Curtis Chang joins Katherine to share how his lifelong experience of anxiety has led him to an entirely new understanding of loss, prayer, surrender, and even parenting. If anxiety has felt like a barrier to spiritual growth rather than an invitation into deeper relationship with God, then this episode is for you. What We’ll Cover: -How we know that Jesus experienced anxiety, and why that’s good news for those of us dealing with anxiety today -Biblically supported and science-backed ways to cope with our fear of loss -How to thoughtfully parent the most anxious generation in history - 3 practices that can increase our capacity to hold loss Want a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, our twice-a-month digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from Katherine and a curated digest of the Internet’s most redemptive content: ⁠⁠https://hopeheals.com/hopenote⁠⁠ Get to know us: ⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://hopeheals.com/⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://www.mendcoffee.org/⁠⁠ Instagram⁠: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠
