 resilient the word for today. It's a quality that I believe every single church planner needs to have as part of their arsenal. In church planning we will be knocked down but resilience makes sure that we are never knocked out and we always come back stronger than ever. Rather than allowing obstacles and failure and setbacks to overcome us and drain our resolve, resilient people find a way to rise up from the ashes. Even after misfortune, resilient people are blessed with such an outlook that they are able to change course and so drawn. And run on and see what the end is going to be. Resilient.
