You're listening to the Bible for Normal People,

the only God ordained podcast on the internet.

Serious talk about the sacred book.

I'm Pete Ends.

And I'm Jared Byeth.

Welcome everyone to this episode of the Bible for Normal People.

Well, the topic for today is anxiety in the life of faith.

And our guest is Elizabeth Ends Petters, who you don't know who she is,

but I do, because I raised her.

This is my daughter, Elizabeth.

And, you know, what prompted this is,

we mentioned this early on in the podcast,

but the sin of certainty that I wrote a few years ago.

A big moment for me was processing my own life and my own faith

through Elizabeth's struggles with anxiety.

And she has a story to tell, and it's a story that I know will benefit people,

because one of the questions, the question I get from that book,

the most common question is, how's Liz?

Because we have kids in our family who are clearly prone to anxiety.

And Liz gets to tell part of her story here.

I know the thing I appreciated, you know, you appreciate it,

because it's your daughter.
