Summary

A few weeks ago, Tsh talked to Max Lucado, the prolific author and long-time pastor. This was right after Hurricane Irma, and with both of them being in central Texas, Hurricane Harvey was heavy on their minds. Now, more events have happened - Hurricane Maria, the Las Vegas shootings, and more… And sad to say, who knows what else is around the corner.

In this bonus episode, Tsh talks with Max about how to handle feeling anxious*, especially in troubling times like these. With pastoral comfort and wisdom, he shares how he’s feeling in light of everything. Perhaps it’ll encourage you, too?

For Max’s new book, Anxious For Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World, head to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your local bookseller.

* This is different than clinically-diagnosed anxiety. If you’re feeling the symptoms of this, please reach out to a friend and a trained professional.

0:00.0	It's the simple show, and you've got a bonus episode.
0:07.5	A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of talking to Max Lucado.
0:11.7	This was right around Hurricane Irma, and since then, there have been quite a few more epic
0:16.5	tragedies to hit, including Hurricane Maria, the Las Vegas shooting, and more. And who knows what
0:22.5	else might happen in the upcoming future? Well, Max is a longtime pastor in San Antonio, not too far
0:27.5	from where I am here in Austin, so we both also felt the repercussions of Hurricane Harvey on a local
0:32.8	level. Max is a prolific author, having written over 20 books and is a man steeped in wisdom.
0:39.7	In this bonus episode, we talk about his new book, Anxious for Nothing, finding calm
0:44.2	in a chaotic world, which couldn't be more appropriate in this era when, quite frankly,
0:49.8	it feels like there's a lot to be anxious about.
0:53.1	So let's get right on to it. Here's my chat with Max.
0:58.1	So Max, I'm so glad to be talking to you because you're such a prolific writer and you have
1:02.5	such a large amount of wisdom to share. And in particular, this just topic right now, I think,
1:08.7	is so just apropos the news and the hurricanes and stuff like that. So I would like for you to just start off. Tell me a little bit about why you think our country, the U.S. is one of the most anxiety-ridden nations on earth. Why is that? Yeah. Isn't that that? That's not something to be proud of, is it? Right. Thanks for letting me on your program, by the way.
1:29.6	It's a great, great honor.
1:31.9	You know, two or three things seem to surface just about any time you read about anxiety.
1:39.3	And then I'd add a fourth one that I think is equally important.
1:43.2	One is just the proliferation of news.
1:47.6	You know, we're bombarded by news no longer do we watch news from 6 to 630 in the evenings
1:55.7	like either some of us did growing up or our parents did. You know, it's 24 hours and we're
2:00.7	bombarded from all angles.
2:02.6	Somehow you get the impression something bad's happening all the time. And then the second reason
