The world feels more chaotic than ever, wars, political division, broken communities, and an endless firehose of social media noise. So how do you lead your family, your team, or your community without drowning in that anxiety yourself?

In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker walks through a biblical framework for leading well during times of global anxiety. Whether you're a parent, a business owner, a pastor, or simply someone others look to for direction, this episode gives you practical, grounded principles you can apply today.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why the chaos you feel isn't actually "unprecedented" and why that truth matters

The single anchor that keeps leaders steady when everything else shifts
How to build a "non-anxious presence" your family and team can feel
What to consume (and what to cut out) to protect your peace
Why leading small in light of the big is the most important thing you can do right now

Key Scripture referenced: Matthew 24:6, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Thessalonians 4:11, John 16:33
