What a joy it is to welcome Sara Billups back to the podcast! We talked about a subject that is or has been near to each of us – anxiety. Sara has written a book that brings in her experiences with anxiety, as well as many of those of her family, and how they connect to various systems we encounter every day, including our Christian communities and political systems. In this episode we talk therapy, evangelical church culture, the end of the world, war, power, and caregiving (and so much more!). I’m so grateful for Sara’s voice in general and this conversation in particular.
