When you confront pain, right?

When you confront pain, you start to experience less discomfort confronting it.

That's how you grow in resilience.

Resilience grows by doing a hard thing just enough over and over enough,

that all of a sudden what used to be scary is now just a resilience-building exercise.

Hi friends, welcome to Joyce, Talk It Out podcast. We are so glad that you are here with us today, especially if you need just a little bit of moxie in your life. Maybe you need a little hoot-spot. Maybe you need a little bit encouragement not to give up ever on whatever it is that you're going through today. If that is the case,

you are in the perfect place. We are going to encourage you in the strength of God and what he

has for you. And we have a special guest with us today who feels

like this has really been the message of her life that God is a God of rescue. And she's

faced a lot of different things in her life. So we're going to be talking about that today.

But who doesn't need to know every now and then, you know, hey, just keep going. You can do this. You're not alone.

I think it really matters to have somebody tell you, get up and keep going. Yeah. I know for myself,

I can easily go to a place mentally where I think, we've done all we can do here.

I think too much. I'm tired. Someone else can I'm too tired. It's not going to work.

No.

But who's the someone else to come and take it?

It never works.

No, because you still have to do it.

So you can feel that way, and then you're just more overwhelmed and exhausted.

But to be reminded, you can do this, not because of my own strength.

Right. But in God alone, it's really, we need to be reminded of that.

Exactly.
