In our last podcast episode, Scott and Shawn discussed how to think like Jesus about anxiety — specifically about managing worry.

But there is another side of anxiety that needs to be addressed because anxiousness is not always restricted to the level of our conscious thinking. Sometimes there is more to it, and it is not solved by simply thinking it away or just having “more faith”.

In today’s podcast episode, Scott and Shawn take a look at anxiety through the lens of science and the Bible to understand its relationship to the human body — and, they consider how Jesus and other biblical characters dealt with the very real, physical aspects of anxiety.
