One of the things that we see over and over again throughout the Bible is that what may start as a legitimate care and legitimate concern can quickly turn into an ungodly worry and anxiety when we don't cast those burdens and cares upon the Lord, and instead we bear them and become paralyzed by them.

Welcome to the Dialen Studios.

I'm here with Hank Bowen.

You look like you're ready to play 18.

I am always ready to play 18.

Always ready to golf.

Always ready to golf.

You on the other hand, do not.

No, I'm not.

Well, I am always ready.

But we're here, Hank, and we're talking about the subject of anxiety. In our last episode, we talked about the reality that we live in an anxious world.

Whether that's a 13-year-old or a 73-year-old, there's a commonality, and for that reason,

often the USA is referred to as the United States of anxiety.

And so in that regard, I wanted to in this episode begin to maybe break down some definitions,

you know, because some people will ask, hey, when does anxiety become sin or is all anxiety

and all worry sin? You know, you might say I'm anxious for Christmas. Is that anxiety sin? So I think

it's maybe helpful, if that makes sense, to provide at least a foundational definition of terms.

Yeah, absolutely. And I feel like this is one where the original language is especially helpful.

I think we can get the thrust of the message, but more specifically, where does anxiety end or

where does concern begin?

Where is where maybe can you define for us for a second?

I feel like you have a common phrase that semantics actually matter because it's all in the words.
