Show Notes
A research paper out the other day showed people who are vaccinated are more prone to anxiety during this phase of COVID. It is weird, but it seems to be real. We see it all the time with people freaking out over their unvaccinated neighbors, etc.
But anxiety is running deeper than that. A lot of people are anxious right now for a lot of reasons. A person who struggled with anxiety for a while and worked to overcome it is Erik Reed.
Erik is a pastor in Tennessee. He and his wife had a son who was born with cysts in his kidneys. At two years old, the doctors recommended surgery to remove the bad kidney, but the surgeons accidentally removed both kidneys. Erik began to grapple with bouts of anxiety and panic attacks. He spent a lot of time struggling and found peace by learning to trust God.
He’s written a book called Uncommon Trust. It is a book for people who are struggling with anxiety. I spoke to him about his experience and his book. You can order his book here.
On a personal note, his book has been profoundly beneficial for me to read. It is about 100 pages. It is not a long read. But it is a deep read.
