Tonight I am both incredibly excited to share this talk with you, this message with you, and I'm also incredibly

like sensitized to the subject matter that we're about to approach and kind of lean into and take some moments to really consider.

I've dedicated, let's say the next six weeks, seven weeks,

something like that. Also asking one of the brightest biblical minds I've ever

met in my whole life who happens to be one of the brightest biblical minds I've ever met in my whole life who happens to be one of my best friends from Boise, Idaho.

Chris Wild's gonna come be with us in a few Wednesdays from now and he is the most studied person my age I've ever met.

He has so much to say on the subject matter.

But we're, I'd like to do a series on subjects like anxiety, hopelessness, exhaustion, fear, these emotions that seem to

be crippling and

frankly the world today.

These statistics are coming in.

It's not good, it's overwhelming, it's astronomical.

And so I'd like if we can, no matter what you believe about God, I think we could all use a little less anxiety in our life.

And so my goal is that in these moments that we don't just have an exchange of information but that actually

we could find some progress and some headway that anxiety could diminish, that

righteousness, peace, and joy could increase.

And we could live that life that we dream possible

through the person of Jesus.

And so tonight's title, I don't really have a title,

tonight is I'm anxious. And if that relates to you in any way shape or form

this message is for you. Some sermons matter to me more I wish that wasn't the case

but it is and this one is very close to my heart.
