In this article, David Powlison draws relevant applications from Jesus&#8217;s sermon on worry recorded in Luke 12:22-34. Powlison argues that Jesus makes the connection between preaching and counseling. We have plenty of reasons to worry, but we have plenty of better reasons not to worry. Powlison demonstrates that Jesus gives solid reason after solid reason not to worry about worrisome things.

David Powlison served as CCEF’s executive director (2014-2019), a faculty member, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. He held a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. David wrote extensively on biblical counseling and on the relationship between faith and psychology. His books Seeing with New Eyes and Speaking Truth in Love probe the implications of Scripture for how to understand people and how to counsel. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context explores the background and development of CCEF’s mission. David is survived by his wife Nan, their three children and spouses, and seven grandchildren.
