Leaders are buckling under the pressure of tremendous hardship. Could you be next? No matter how difficult, daunting, or despairing life gets, it doesn't have to take you down. In this place of unthinkable hardship, the Lord breaks us to make us better, humbles us to build us up, and burdens us to make us stronger, forming in and through us something more than we could ever imagine. Join me on my journey through hardship as we discover from Scripture how the Lord uses unimaginable adversity to strengthen personal resilience-a resilience that helps us rise above our circumstances, overcome the ensuing darkness, and stay the course to accomplish God's mission.
