BB&JT: Plea and thank you for ratings and review & for spreading the word via social media and word of mouth…

BB –  We are talking today about … “The Power Of Resilience”…

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind?

  1. Bob – POINT: More than just a “never give up” attitude, although that is part of it, the power of resilience is seen in the life of a believer as the power of God through the ups and downs of life.

2 Corinthians 4:7–10 (ESV) — 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

 

  1. JT ------ OK THEN LET’S TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THAT as we bring up… WHAT’S NEW –  as we open Bob’s recent blog from bobbrubaker.com …

  1. JT – This is the PowerBreak Podcast, I’m JT along with Bob Brubaker and this is the  –– time for some questions and answers. Feel free to submit your questions by EMAIL TO JT@bobbrubaker.com and we’ll get to the answer on an upcoming PowerBreak. Podcast…

 

  1. JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

 

Are you saying as a person follows Christ, they seem to have an advantage when it comes to resilience?

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

 

Absolutely!

 

Proverbs 24:16 (ESV) — 16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

Micah 7:8 (ESV) — 8 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.

2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (ESV) — 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

 

  1. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

 

I think resilience was pounded into our heads as we played sports … but what can a person who has never been in sports do to develop an resilient attitude toward the setbacks of life?

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

 

Practically speaking when you face setbacks it’s important to refocus on your goal and assess where you are and what needs to be done to get back in the race. The longer you dwell on the past or the pain of the moment the harder it will be to get back into the race. Even if you are physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially injured and you may need to work on healing and restoration, you still can be resilient by taking the initiative and doing whatever you can.

2 Corinthians 4:7–10 (ESV) — 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

 

  1. (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…

What are some keys to getting faster – running – cycling – swimming – rowing, etc.??

  1. Bob and JT discuss…

 

  1. Improve your form – may need some outside help
  2. Tweeking your equipment – running shoes, bike fit, etc.
  3. Maximize your nutrition, hydration, and sleep
  4. INTERVALS

 

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline ….

 

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
