Description
The concept of resilience has gained significant attention in recent decades, with researchers seeking to understand what enables individuals to cope well with stress. However, the literature reveals that spiritual values play a crucial role in fostering resilience. In a Christian framework, it is not surprising that qualities such as religion, altruism, and belief in the good are key factors in building resilience. The Bible provides us with a gracious God who has revealed truths about the world, making a positive impact on our emotions, coping mechanisms, beliefs, and actions. This hope offers a rational basis for positive thinking. Kirsten Birkett explores this concept in her work, drawing on her experience as a theological writer and lecturer.
