What is Resilient Hope?
Resilient Hope is formed from the Christian faith and worldview. As we consider the Bible, we can see that God never promises that life will always be easy, but that there is an eternal hope to be experienced.
Resilience isn’t about taking a grin-and-bear-it approach to the difficulties we face, but about processing, engaging with, and persevering through these challenges. As we persevere through suffering, the Apostle Paul writes in Romans chapter 5 that this will produce hope in us; “…we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5:3-4
Resilient Hope is a hope that bounces back again and again, even through the many trials and challenges we face.
Even if we don’t see the immediate changes we want to see in our circumstances, the book of Revelation offers us a glimpse into the end of the story: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21:4-5a.
Resilient Hope is largely here as a resource to encourage you in your daily life as we seek to authentically navigate real life with real hope. You will find blog posts, social media content, interviews, book reviews, and more.
