Join us this hour as we take a look at the news making headlines. We will also discuss why the World Medical Association wants to declare a worldwide climate emergency and we will examine the correlation between COVID and euthanasia. We round out the hour with an update on those who are being persecuted for their faith and learn how to pray specifically for them. Travel with us with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.
"Fear not." "Do not be afraid." "Peace be with you." Phrases like these appear in the Bible more often than almost any other proclamation. We long to follow these commands. Yet for many, something inside us is wary, ready for anything and everything to go wrong. In fact, a quarter of Americans struggle with anxiety disorders--and Christians are not immune. Join us as our guest addresses seven themes: breath, body, movement, mind, change, spirit, and community and offers real solutions to find a solid landing place when the storm of fear looms.
