"Tensile Strength" is strength developed from being taken to our breaking point.

Tensile strength is one of the most honest ways to talk about real healing, because it doesn’t romanticize pain—it redeems it.

Before steel ever becomes a bridge, it’s:

   •   Heated to extreme temperatures

   •   Stretched and pulled under load

   •   Tested to failure points

   •   Refined again and again if weaknesses are found

They don’t do this to destroy it.

They do it to discover what it can carry.

Some people are called to be fences. Some are called to be bridges—to carry others across places they barely survived themselves.
