Why do we keep struggling with the same things, even after years of following Jesus? In this session of The Resilient Experience, John Eldredge explores how times of stress expose the unconverted places within us—the areas of our lives where fear, control, anger, or shame still rule. Drawing from Peter’s denial, the story of Eustace from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and Paul’s call to complete transformation in 1 Thessalonians 5, John reframes salvation not only as a moment of grace, but as an ongoing process of being made whole. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s wholeheartedness. In a culture addicted to comfort, Jesus invites us into healing that reaches every part of us. This session teaches you how to bring your brokenness to God instead of hiding it, so that Christ can inhabit even the places you’re tempted to keep closed off. Resilience grows as we allow Jesus to transform every part of our humanity with his presence and love.
