Thank you so much for your support.

Today, Nancy DeMas-Walgamuth asks a penetrating question.

Where do you turn for comfort when the world feels out of control?

When your life doesn't turn out at all as you had hoped, and what will be your comfort in death after this life? Your answer matters.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamoo, co-author of You Can Trust God to Write

Your Story. For August 22nd, 2022, I'm Dana Gresh. I was sitting with a friend over dinner not too long ago, and in the middle of that conversation, my friend said, just kind of out of the blue,

I'm feeling such low-grade anxiety about our world. It feels like no one knows what to do. feels like no one's leading. Right about that time,

I read a piece by Mark Penn who wrote a New York Times guest essay. He was a pollster under

President Clinton, and he said, Americans haven't been afraid like this in a long time.

In fact, that was the title of his essay.

He talked about how there's a perfect storm.

He said it combines the nuclear anxieties of the 1950s and 60s

with the inflation threat of the 70s, the crime wave of the 80s and 90s,

and the tensions over illegal immigration in the 2000s and beyond.

He talked about fear, Americans being afraid. I think we're all feeling some of this.

Low-grade anxiety. These are hard, crazy days. And as never before, we need, people need,

everyone needs a life preserver for our minds, for our emotions.

And I'm here to tell you today, which you already know, and that is that that life preserver is the truth.

It's the gospel.

That's what keeps us from going under.
