FXUS Webinar
Overcoming Anxiety on the Fresh Expression Journey
with Steve Cuss
Anxiety is normal. But if it is left unmanaged, it can wreck the new work God is calling you to do.
Have you ever tried to get your church to start something new, only to get blocked by leaders paralyzed by fear? Have you ever seen the best and brightest lights snuffed out by a panic-stricken institution? Have you started a new church, ministry or fresh expression only to find yourself completely burned out from years of worry?
In this FXUS webinar you will learn:
- What anxiety is and how it spreads through groups
- How to navigate an anxious church, denomination, organization or team
- How to tell the difference between God's voice and your anxiety
- How to pursue your pioneering dreams even when they cause anxiety for others
- How to recognize chronic anxiety before it wrecks your ministry

About Steve Cuss
Author and Speaker Steve Cuss
I cut my teeth on leadership anxiety when I served as a chaplain at a level one trauma hospital. The hospital sent us into every conceivable human experience and we had nothing but our wits and the presence of God to get us through. In that baptism of fire, I learned how to pay attention to what was going on under the surface of my own life, and also the dynamics between family members. One of the supervisors was Murray Bowen’s student, so I was steeped in family systems theory and then later studied it and cybernetics more formally in graduate school. My unique experience and training deepened my leadership capacity to manage anxiety and notice it in groups. I have sixteen hundred hours of supervised ministry in Clinical Pastoral Education. I hold a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel Christian Seminary where I focused on Hebrew Scriptures and Family Systems.
Since 2005, I have served as Lead Pastor of Discovery Christian Church in Broomfield, Colorado, an innovative and entrepreneurial church that has grown from 150 to more than 1000 in weekly attendance. The church intentionally welcomes spiritual seekers and skeptics and is passionate about partnerships that break the local and global poverty cycle. I have also served at a mega church in Las Vegas, on a ranch for struggling teens, and as a youth minister in the Appalachian region.
