Ever feel like you need a label across your forehead that reads FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE! In big read letters?

It’s hard to imagine that we can be strong enough to handle all the suffering around us. In this heartening and thought-provoking conversation, Katherine sits down with therapist and author Aundi Kolber to reimagine what it means to be strong and understand how God made our bodies to adapt to heartbreak, hardship, and hurt.

What We’ll Cover:

- What the incarnation of Christ in a human body tells us about God’s design for our own bodies

- Just how far we can expand our definitions of “strength”

- Healthy ways to process our own trauma responses without being defined by them
