Working Through Anxiety with Words
As I get older I learn more about how anxiety has shaped my life and new ways to work through it. Here’s how I’m working through it.
We’re here for the humanity
We follow people who feel real. Politicians. Pastors. Bosses. Leaders. The more human, the better. We’re here for the humanity.

Hi, I’m Joe Garrison
I love writing, but I don’t do it enough for myself. Most of my writing is copywriting for my clients at Moonflower Marketing, the small marketing shop I run with my wife.
What you will get at Words with Joe are my thoughts on a variety of topics, informed by my life and experiences.
I grew up in a conservative Christian home in Indiana. I’ve worked in retail, home services, hospitality, law, ministry, marketing, and community advocacy.
My theology, politics, and philosophy of life have been set, changed, set, and changed again over time. They’ll keep changing.
On Words with Joe, I will write about how my thoughts and ideas have changed and continue to change.
Each post will represent where I am at that moment in time.
I love to hear others’ opinions and would love to hear yours. Leave your thoughts in the comments. Let’s learn from each other.
