Building a Resilient Life Study Guide with DVD: How Adversity Awakens Strength, Hope, and Meaning

by Rebekah Lyons

Life is hard for all of us for all kinds of reasons. It's tempting to try to move past the pain as quickly as possible. But what if instead we embraced our struggles as a way to develop a resilience that's not dependent on circumstances?

Writing as a friend who has also walked through difficulties, Rebekah Lyons—the bestselling author of Rhythms of Renewal and the popular host of the Rhythms for Life podcast—reminds us that adversity always comes with a choice: Will discouragement, stress, and fear cause you to crumble, or will you embrace the strength you've already been given?

In Building a Resilient Life, Rebekah offers a practical, life-changing approach to knowing God's unshakable peace in a world that seems more uncertain every day. Through Rebekah's unique blend of story, psychology, theology, and biblical promises, you will:


Learn five practical rules of resilience to help you thrive during difficult times
Begin to view adversity as a partner rather than an enemy
Understand how to build a strong community to walk with you through stressful days
Figure out how to handle temporary setbacks without giving up
Discover your triggers for feeling overwhelmed and how to respond with faith instead
As you navigate your own challenges—and those days when you feel you have nothing left to give—God offers you a peace beyond understanding, a hope beyond today, and a strength and joy you never even knew you had.

This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:


The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.
An individual access code to stream all video sessions online.
And the physical DVD.

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an incredible bible study that read clearly and concisely, allowing me to spend more time contemplating the lessons. I was learning and taking them into my day-to-day life each week, then stuck doing homework for hours as many of the Bible studies I’ve done in the past have been. Yes, I greatly appreciated that there were only three days of homework each week and each days assignment, took around a half hour or so, but the Biblical lessons it contained for me were life-changing, and I actually noticed, and felt myself take the lessons I was learning into my daily life making it better and making being around me better for those who are around me. The author is truly passionate about the subject and about Jesus, and I greatly appreciate how much she points us to the Word. I hope to have time to read the actual book that it accompanies someday as well. I will definitely be looking for more Bible Studies from this author!
