“Don’t put God in a box,” Lucas says when asked if there’s anything he could tell his freshman self. It’s a Friday afternoon in May, and Lucas sits across the table from me next to a suitcase of clothes he’s bringing to chapter camp in his apartment a few blocks from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

He’s a senior studying both Industrial Engineering and Chinese, and for the past three years, he’s served as a leader in his Asian American InterVarsity (AAIV) chapter. Next door, his roommates pack their things to head back home for the summer, a kind of bittersweet reprieve from the stress of homework and the warm comfort of community. “I don’t want to take this for granted because it’s not always like this,” he says with palpable joy on his face. “I want to listen to what God has to say through my community.”

We praise God for the rich legacy of gospel faithfulness, love for Jesus, and dedication to God’s kingdom that Tim’s life on earth produced.

Anxiety drove me into the arms of Jesus. And over the years, I began to see patterns of how some ways of prayer mirror psychotherapy techniques that help reduce anxiety. Going further and studying spiritual formation, I was exposed to even more ways to pray in ways that are helpful. I was intrigued that the little bit of neuroscience that had informed my early graduate work helped me make sense of new discoveries about the brain and how it’s shaped by anxiety and reshaped by various forms of prayer.
