Building a Resilient Life Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video : How Adversity Awakens Strength, Hope, and Meaning

ADVERSITY CAN KNOCK YOU DOWN—OR AWAKEN YOUR HEART

Life is hard for all kinds of reasons. It’s tempting to try to move past the pain as quickly as possible. In the Building a Resilient Life video Bible study, bestselling author Rebekah Lyons teaches you how to embrace your struggles and develop a resilience and joy not dependent on circumstances.

Through Rebekah’s unique blend of story, psychology, theology, and biblical teaching, you will:

• Discover five rules of resilience to help you thrive in difficult times
• Experience adversity as a friend rather than an enemy
• Recognize and reset your triggers for feeling overwhelmed
• Cultivate strong community to rally around you in stressful seasons
• Overcome setbacks without giving up

On those days you feel you have nothing left to give, the tools in Building a Resilient Life will draw you closer to a God who offers a peace beyond understanding, a hope beyond today, and a strength you never knew you had.
