My second time on the Newsworthy with Norsworthy podcast talking with host Luke Norsworthy about my latest book The Slavery of Death.

Podcast topics include:
- Why I write such depressing books. Or what I call "The Death Trilogy."
- How I discovered Thérèse of Lisieux.
- Luke coins the term "Jumped the Horse."
- How "illusions of immortality" affect us.
- The distinction between basic and neurotic anxiety.
- The "shame-based fear of being ordinary" (Brene Brown).
- If "acquisitiveness" is a word I made up for the book.
- I play a game trying to connect lust and pride to death anxiety.
- A weird discussion about the show "The Bachelor."
- How our identities rest upon a "lie."
- How death anxiety makes me check blog statistics.
- The Orthodox view of sin.
- The cultivation of an eccentric identity.
- Prayer and doxological gratitude.
- How the experience of grace helps us give our lives away.
- Why everyone is "fine" at church. And why everyone is lying about that.
- Why I got my hair cut and Jana's suspicion that I'm trying to dress like a homeless person.
