Anxious & Interrupted #1 - Anxiety

Anxious & Interrupted
Written By Kurt Willems
 

Description

We live in a world where technology is shaping our attention, our relationships, and the people we are becoming.

We’re anxious—waiting for the next notification, comment, or chance to prove ourselves right, while growing up on screens can leave younger generations more digitally connected but less confident navigating the real world.

We’re interrupted—pulled away from the people in front of us and increasingly uncomfortable with silence and slowness.

In our series, Anxious & Interrupted, we’ll explore these pressures alongside Paul’s honest reflections in 2 Corinthians on anxiety, weakness, relationships, and the demands of a life interrupted.

Rather than rejecting technology, we’ll consider how wise boundaries and spiritual rhythms can form us into people who are peaceful, present, and responsive to God and to the life right in front of us.
