An MBC Grief Share support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

The Resilient Life
We live in an anxious age. Our 24 hour news cycle, social media hype, and globally connected world fuels our fears. Danger seems to be lurking around every corner. To counter this, the secular world has crafted “safe spaces” to shield the next generation from pain and suffering. But is this the solution? Are we meant to avoid stress and live a comfortable?
Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians tells a different story. With boldness and love, Paul exhorts the believers: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8-9, ESV).” In short, he calls the Corinthian Christians, and us, to love the resilient life?

What is the resilient life? We are able to recover quickly, because we know where our hope lies. As Paul writes, “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison (2 Cor. 4:16-17, ESV).” This series will look at themes in 2nd Corinthians and draw from the five practices of resilience outlined in the book Faith for Exiles. By the end of this series, we hope you will be prepared to live a RESILIENT LIFE for Christ.
