Rooted In Resilience

Have you noticed? ABNWT pastors are gritty. You’ve combined passion and perseverance to find a way through the adversity, trauma, and threats of a pandemic. Resilience is what gives grit its elasticity, which is why RESILIENT is a good choice for the word of the year in 2021.

Resilience is bounce back ability. It’s is the opposite of fragile. Resilience can be summed up in three words: keep moving on.

Your answers to three simple questions will help you redeem setbacks for comebacks.

1. What hurts?

2. What helps?

3. What fruit do you want to come out of this?
