Are you tired of white-knuckling your way through every hardship, hoping you can just push through on your own strength? If you've felt like resilience means faking it until you make it, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Renew, Pastor Gina and Meghen Haggard dig into what true resilience looks like from a biblical perspective. They talk through the difference between the world's version of resilience (grit, hustle, bootstraps) and the resilience the Holy Spirit produces in us through connection to Him. They cover why resilience is not automatic, the role of honesty and vulnerability in healing, and why the right people in your life matter more than we often admit.

Topics covered:

Why resilience takes intentionality, not just time

The difference between worldly resilience and Spirit-produced resilience

How suppressing pain shows up in our bodies

Why connection and community are not optional

The fruit of the Spirit as evidence of true resilience

Key passages referenced:

Psalm 1:3

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

Galatians 5:22-23
