So resilience is really character.

Resilience is our ability to bounce back from stressful situations, but not just bouncing back, but also adapting

and learning from that situation. Dr. Charles Stone joins us today to talk about ways to

kind of de-stress your life and find some peace in Jesus. Thanks for joining us for focus on

the family with Jim Daly. I'm John Fuller.

I've got a laugh and go. Okay, let's get with the program. Let's go. Let's de-stress. So how are some ways, John, that you cope with stress? Okay. So I'm going to slow down. Okay, good. That's part of what I do is I just tried to get a hold of my pace and quit reacting. So I try to get outside, get some sunshine.

Ideally, I get quiet time to read, especially, it sounds holy, but especially the scripture. That sounds like

in general stress. What about when it's really on? What do you do? I just try to show up and

solve the problem. You are a problem solver. It's kind of funny. How about you? I think for me, I mean, the lightweight stuff is to get outside, play golf, weight lift. I love doing that. And of course, Trent. Trent leads me now. I don't lead him any longer. Oh, to have a Sunday. Yeah. But I think when it's heavy, I think I just pull in. And for an extrovert, that's kind of interesting. I don't become more extroverted. I actually withdraw if the stress is heavy. And I think that's what Jean would say. The expert opinion would be Jean. And I think she would say that, that when I'm really under a lot of stress, I tend to pull in and not communicate and, you know, just sit and think. Yeah, that's where Dina would say, John, is very directive, get it done, let's push through this. So the question will be, you know, you can answer that, riding down the car or listening on the app, however you're hearing this right now, but how do you manage that stress and how do you cope and what are those

attributes that God has given you?

Today we're going to talk with a great guest about that, Charles Stone.

He's written a book called Stress Less and everybody put their hand up.

And you know, this is really what I love, the meeting of the disciplines of the biology of the brain, the physiology, what we learn through

science, along with theology, how God created it. I always love when those two paths mix.

I do too, and we want to just commend this book to you. We've got copies of it on our website.

It's called Stress Less. The subtitle is Nine Habits from the Bible
