Nervous Systems: Spiritual Practices to Calm Anxiety in Your Body, the Church, and Politics


Overview

An Honest Search for Personal and Collective Peace in Our Anxious Times middot; Discover how to live well in a culture permeated with fear, worry, and anxiety middot; Develop doable daily practices to promote peace both for yourself and in community middot; Learn to face anxiety head-on rather than merely coping and compartmentalizing Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasonsnbsp;are easy to find–division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few.nbsp;Whilenbsp;exploring these originsnbsp;may hold some benefit, Sara Billupsnbsp;is concerned withnbsp;rightnbsp;now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety? The dissonance between Jesus saying quot;Do not worryquot; and her heart's inability to stop worrying led Sara to seek out spiritual rhythms and practices that create a holistic, holy response to the anxiety brimming in our bodies, our churches, and our society. Nervous Systemsnbsp;offers helpful,nbsp;doablenbsp;daily practices for anxiety in the large andnbsp;small trialsnbsp;in our lives. This collection of personal and cultural observations invites us tonbsp;let gonbsp;in the presence of our anxiety. Join Sara in learning how, with God's help,nbsp;to face anxiety head-on rather than trying tonbsp;praynbsp;itnbsp;away or,nbsp;worse, grin and bear it.
