107. On Dealing With Anxiety

<p>Scripture instructs believers to "be anxious for nothing," creating the illusion that how we respond to stress is entirely a product of personal agency. Our guest today pushes back on this notion, calling for a holistic vision of anxiety rooted in theology and science. Dr. Matthew Lapine has written <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Logic-Body-Retrieving-Theological-Psychology/dp/1683594258"> a wonderful book</a> on the topic, and an accessible article for Christianity Today (<a href= "https://www.christianitytoday.com/pastors/2021/spring/aquinas-emotions-shepherding-sufferers-lapine.html">here</a>).
