002: Anxious and Laughing in the Face of Fear

Why do you always check your phone as soon as you wake up? Why do you always make a cup of coffee in the morning? Every single day is filled with routine and chaos, but my guess is that we don't even realize it. Habits drive our everyday, both for the good and the bad. In this episode, we take a look at why we have these habits, evaluating the good, the bad, and the ugly while also looking at how we can use habits to draw us closer to the Lord.

In scripture, there's a very important command that Jesus gives to His disciples; to love others as yourself. Many of us struggle to put that into our everyday lives so in this episode we talk about three practical ways for us to do that. This is a way of living that we can't ignore as believers in the faith. When we put this into practice we begin living real and authentic lives.

Light and dark are continually in battle. We face this fight every day. Many of us are walking around broken from our past, burdened by our guilt, and even locked down by our sin. There's a freedom that comes when we pull those things out of the darkness and bring them into the light. Jesus tells us in John 12, "I have come as a light to shine in this dark world so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark." In this episode, Bryan and I talk about our journey of living in darkness and how together we were able to bring it to light. Christ died so you wouldn't have to hide any longer. It's time to walk into the light.

How is mental health affecting the Church today? Let me press in a little further, how is mental health affecting Church leadership today? My fear is that it's a great deal! In this episode of Let's Get Tryin' I'm sharing with you a conversation I had with my friend, JR Horn, on his podcast; the Seats to Streets Podcast. Throughout our conversation, we talk about how COVID has caused new mental health challenges for the Church, as well as for staff members of the local church. We talk about some practical ways to help congregations while also addressing how each of us needs community and vulnerability.

What would the world look like if we genuinely wanted to know people better? What would it look like if we asked each other more questions and stopped caring only about our lives? I believe it would change the world for the good. In this episode of Let's Get Tryin' my wife, Jerrica, and I talk about this very topic. We unpack the reason this is important, some practical ways of doing it, and also the fears that drive us away from it. Let's get out there and start asking good questions.

Authenticity is a tricky thing. We all want it, but sometimes we don't want what it takes to be authentic. Recently I sat down with my friends over at GraceStory Podcast and talked about this very topic. This is that interview. As you listen, imagine a world where we truly are real and authentic, not held back by fake instagram accounts and empty words acting like we have it all together. The world could drastically change if we were all authentic.

For all of us, this past year has been filled with lots of changes. I would imagine that the majority of the changes feel like bad ones, but it's important to see the good things that have come from this season of change. In episode 40 of the podcast, I'm joined by my friend and co-laborer Sam Wilco. Sam was a contestant on season 18 of the voice and is now a worship leader in the local church. Sam and I discuss how this year of change has had its lows, but a year of change can be good. We also talk about spiritual growth and the importance of community.

"My Anxiety Journal" are bonus episodes where I grab the mic and share what's been going on with me that day. Some days are good while others are overwhelming. Hopefully, this will remind us of the journey and be an encouragement to one another. In this entry, I talk about waking up with anxiety and how it'll affect my day as well as my need for control and the ongoing battle we are all facing.
