Your church comes to you each week to fill their cup. But when the crowd leaves, who's filling yours?

That's exactly what I'm here to do with my new podcast from Focus on the Family. It's called

Pastor to Pastor with Dave Stone. I'm so excited to help you navigate the unique challenges

that pastors face in their ministry journey, both personally and professionally.

So I invite you to listen and subscribe to pastor to pastor wherever you get your podcasts.

If they don't develop an ability to walk out of their trauma, they won't become who God

intended for them to be.

And that grieves me because God has a plan for every person he creates.

And it's only when we're resilient, where we come back from difficulty, that we'll learn

and grow and discover how life works will develop character, faith, perseverance and diligence, problem solving, health, mental health, all of that.

That's Dr. Kathy Cook, and she joins us today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

I'm John Fuller.

Hey, John, when it comes to instilling character in our kids, what a great goal.

How do we do that?

That's the question.

I think the most

important aspect we can teach and model for them is bouncing back from struggles and difficulties.

This is known as resilience. A lot of psychologists talk about that, the importance of it. I think

the Bible, first and foremost, talks about it in 2nd Corinthians, 4, 8 It says through the Apostle Paul where he writes, we are afflicted in every way but not crushed. That's good. Perplexed but not driven to despair. Persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed. Yeah. Isn't that great? That is a wonderful, beautiful picture. Now, the question is, how do we teach that to our children?

And how do we live that out?

When challenges arise in our child's life, you want them to be able to face those situations

with courage and confidence.
