Episode 107: Building Back to Resilience
What is resilience? It is the ability to absorb stress and affliction while being stretched, and then release that energy before permanent damage takes place. Like a rubber band bounces back into original shape after being pulled tightly in opposing directions. In more than a few ways we have all been stretched in recent times, and even moving into our summer those of us at the C.O.D.E recognize the need to practice some soul awareness and soul care to ensure we are staying resilient as men, as husbands, fathers, and followers of Christ.
In the episode the crew discusses the recent release of John Eldredge's new book Resilient: Restoring Your Weary Soul in These Turbulent Times (Thomas Nelson, 2022), and our reflections on how this great resource is helping us tap into our own soul resilience. We share some of the practices which are working as we bring our inner man back into healthy state during these chaotic days.
1. Renewed Perspective - seeing how soul care has helped shape a healthier view of personal growth.
2. Re-evaluation of Progress - the recognition that there is never a time to stop improving our foxhole, always looking for the next step of maturing.
3. Offering Grace to Our Unconverted Places - it is a pressure release to honestly acknowledge that we are broken but beloved sons of God.
4. Practicing Togetherness with Friends and Family - there is true value in the quality time spent with our spouse, our children, and our good friends.
5. Releasing the False Sense that we Must Fix or Fight Everything - it is good to trust God and learn when to let go of the burdens and stressors.
6. Realigning our Focus on the Coming Kingdom - turning the affection and attention on the coming of Jesus and his kingdom frees our soul.
A special thank you to our friend Bruce Frye for the theme song, "Heart of a Champion." You can find more of Bruce Frye's music and ministry at Bruce Frye Ministries - Singer, Songwriter & Evangelist | Online Christian Music and Book Store
