This episode is a follow up to episode 35. These are my thoughts on the modern fear economy and how constant exposure to anxiety-driven media shapes our mindset, stress levels, and even our physical health. Building on the idea of secondhand stress, I talk about why fear is such an effective tool, how chronic stress quietly wears us down, and why Jesus' repeated command to "be not afraid" is not sentimental but deeply practical. This is about resisting manufactured fear, paying attention to what is actually true in our own lives, and ordering ourselves toward the will of God rather than the constant churn of alarm.
