For those of us who struggle with worry and anxiety, it can be puzzling to consider Jesus’ life.

Jesus had no home, no job, no income. He was under daily pressure from the needs of the desperate and the opposition from society’ influencers. On top of that, his family thought he had gone mad. But he did not appear to live in constant worry, and he didn’t focus his energy on trying to control his circumstances. How could this be?

In this podcast episode, Scott and Shawn consider what shaped Jesus’ thinking about anxiety and how thinking like Jesus can help us deal with worry and anxiety today.
