Resilient: The Deep Well Inside Us

In this next segment from his series on resilience, John Eldredge demonstrates the practice of spending time with Christ within us as the ultimate source of resilience. Most of the time, we operate in what Eldredge terms the shallows and the midlands of our being - the distractions and concerns of this world which leave us feeling exhausted or directionless. By practicing benevolent detachment and surrendering the noise of the shallows and midlands to God, we make room to access the depths of our being and address what our soul truly needs. It's in our innermost depths where Jesus invites us to draw closer to Him and commune with Him, not just for survival when we feel most weary, but for every moment of our lives.
