Five Practices for Becoming a Non Anxious Presence

Listen along as John Mark Comer teaches from the Gospel of Matthew about following the way of love as we seek to be a non-anxious presence in a cultural moment of anxiety, and to love and care for those in our community. This video was released for Bridgetown Church, Portland in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning to take hold and restrictions were being put in place.
