Summary

Is it possible to calm our storms, order our lives, and find true peace in this anxious, traumatized, chaotic world? To answer that, John and Allen invite Manny Arango—pastor, self-proclaimed Bible nerd, and author of Crushing Chaos—into a conversation about Manny’s chaotic family environment and his dramatic rescue from it, his first encounter with the Wild at Heart message, the downfall of pursuing peace over order, and how to see the Genesis creation story—as well as our own purpose—with new eyes.

Show Notes: Crushing Chaos and Brain Washed by Manny Arango and Chaos Can’t by Allen Arnold are available wherever books are sold. Find out more about The Garden Church at https://www.thegarden.church.
