Resiliency: The ability to bounce back after

adversity or disappointment

Perseverance: Steadfastness and commitment to

completing a task or learning something new

Grit: Sustain interest and passion for long-

terms goals; deferment of short-term gratification

Judging ourselves and judging others

Not a lot of grace-filled responses when we disappoint or are disappointed

• (often turns to blame, shame, resentment, anger, hurt . . . )

Constantly making decisions for self that have an impact on others

For good reasons

Fearful of the unknown future for self, families, congregations, mission

Need enough safety to change, but lack space to carefully discern

Didn’t cause it

Can’t cure it

Can’t control it

What is life-giving and soul-feeding for you?

How do you and God together sustain these gifts in your own soul? And in the soul of your community?
