Series Introduction: Life has a way of wearing us down... so, how do we develop spiritual resilience — both for our benefit, and so that we might be a source of strength for others? For the next two weeks, we’ll be reading the Bible with Adam Dodds who says, “God’s desire for each Christ-follower is spiritual resilience: a steadfastness, a buoyancy, and perseverance with deep joy. In these devotions, Adam will show us that our spiritual resilience is enormously affected by our core beliefs about God, the world, and our own self-identity. The goal of these devotions is to strengthen our spiritual resilience by helping nudge our core beliefs into greater alignment with biblical truth. Together, we will examine core beliefs regarding spiritual training, what God is like, a warfare worldview, and being forgiven. If you would like to know more after the devotions are complete, you can read more in Adam’s book, Resilient.
