Walter Brueggemann on Anxiety and Empire - Progressive (Matthew 6:25-27)

Source: Walter Brueggemann45 words

"Empire produces anxiety—scarcity mentality, competitive striving, fear of not having enough. Jesus counters: 'Do not worry.' This is resistance to the anxiety economy. Trust in God's abundance subverts the empire's lie that we must grasp and hoard to survive." — Walter Brueggemann. Progressive: counter-imperial trust.
