In this episode of the Applied Faith podcast, Tyler Yaw emphasizes the importance of gaining perspective by stepping outside and connecting with nature. He draws a powerful analogy between living in a trench, focused on immediate problems, and a king who surveys the battlefield from a high vantage point. By encouraging listeners to physically change their environment, Tyler illustrates how anxiety can thrive in confined spaces, and how expanding one's context can help diminish worries. He references the biblical story of Abraham, who, when taken outside by God, was reminded of the vastness of the universe and the promises made to him, thus recalibrating his faith and perspective
