I am so very thankful for this message from Josh Wiedmann! We have created a society that has inflicted record setting suicides in America. Complete failure. Anxiety is rampant in America. How are you helping those that are hurting?

I am not sure why I ordered anything to eat in the first place. Anxiety had locked up my appetite. Eating seemed more of a chore than a pleasure as I sat across the table from a trusted pastor and friend, pouring out recent pains and telling him how fear had gripped nearly every area of me. Before long, he interjected: “I’ve been there too, more than I want to admit.”
We left the table to take a walk. Over the next half hour we took several laps around the block as he told me how anxiety had nearly crushed him. His story was painfully close to mine. I was surprised to hear it. But we’re both pastors, I thought. Why should emotional suffering get the best of us?
