In which I wonder if resilience is more corporate than Christian and what metaphors Scripture uses to talk about faithfulness, fortitude, and life through death.

.@aahales puts books from Tish Harrison Warren, John Eldredge, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb in conversation as they take up ancient questions that still haunt us today.

Most pressingly: Is resilience actually what we seek?

@caityweaver is an incredible writer. If she’s interested in something, you’ll be interested in it by the end of the first paragraph
