About this episode
What if worry isn’t just a bad habit but a misunderstanding of reality?
John Ortberg invites us to reconsider how we see God, how we see the world, and how we carry today’s concerns. What if trust is not passive resignation, but active attentiveness to a God who is already here?
Jesus taught that with a good and competent God present all around us, the universe is a perfectly safe place to be. Not easy. Not painless. But safe. In this episode, we sit with some of Jesus’ most unsettling words about anxiety, provision, and trust, alongside wisdom from Dallas Willard and an unforgettable illustration involving a dog, a wagging tail, and deep focus.
Take a breath. Look around. And consider living today as if Jesus was right.
