Is There a Sweet Spot? | Aimee Byrd, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
“I’m not an academic. I’m a housewife theologian. But what is the point of the work academics are doing?

“The world is stressful. And, as I view the world, it is not getting any easier. There seems to be little relief in sight. If anything, life seems more stressful today than even a few years ago. It may be getting worse – not better. I’ve written about the subject previously, but it keeps coming up in discussion, so here we go again. What should we do? How do we handle the stress of daily living?”
