A Refresh Devotional by Pastor Lyndon Wall.

In his final session with us about resiliency, Cam is going to talk to us about "true grit".  Grit is an essential quality when met with adversity. Cam shows us how to develop more of it.

There's an endurance race called "The Tough Mudder". Competitors crawl through mud, climb over walls, and navigate harsh surroundings.  We asked Cam what quality do those competitors have, that you also need to have, when dealing with a setback.

Cam joins us today from British Columbia to share some of the lessons he learned while on a long recovery journey after a serious motorcycle accident.  He has graciously agreed to talk to us about Thriving When Faced with Ministry Setbacks.

Pain, looked at from the right perspective, may have more to teach us than first appears.

Leadership Coach Cam Taylor is back with us today with his fifth talk on thriving when faced with ministry setbacks.

Cam responds to this question: "There is a popular belief that pain is negative and an unwelcome guest in our lives. What do you say to the person who holds to that belief, yet is hit by unexpected suffering of some kind?"

His topic in this QT4CM episode is:

In our previous episode leadership coach Cam Taylor spoke to us about hope when we dance with adversity.  Ministry setbacks affect us in many ways -- one of those ways is in how we feel. In today's episode Cam gives us tips to help us deal with the emotional side to a setback.

There are four emotional puzzle pieces talked about in the lesson - emotional self-awareness, dancing with emotions, emotional self-mastery, and the value of deep crying. Cam explains why emotional self-awareness is a good place to begin when dealing with setbacks and roadblocks.
