How well someone responds to change, challenges and relationship conflicts matters more than ever. Just think about what the world may be like during the year you launch your kids from your home. Emotional resilience is a critical skill you will want to include in your process of equipping your kids.

In This Episode We Discuss:

• Resilience: The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties
• You will never lead forward, what you haven’t lived out
• You can’t be anxious and be resilient
• Spiritual growth lies at the end of your own strength
• Your challenges might be small compared to what your kids face in the future
• God wants you to have emotional resilience
• Hold your plans loosely
• Exemplify emotional resilience when you have a conflict with your kids or need to correct them.

Scriptures In This Episode:

Philippians 4:4-8 “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:12-14 “I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.”

James 1:6 “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.”

Psalm 55:22 “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
