"Building Resilience in a Challenging World"
Speaker: Richard Berlach
How can we protect ourselves from the stresses and pressures that life throws at us? Or can we do even better than that and use these as a catalyst for personal growth? One of the most effective ways to combat the sometimes overwhelming crush of life’s encounters is to build psychological and spiritual resilience. Apart from seeing how all of this relates specifically to men, the session will consider how several Biblical figures wrestled with the question of resilience.
Since retiring from academic life, Richard has had more time to author books. Some of these have been written with his wife Linda, and focus on the reflective and contemplative side of life. Books introduce everyday issues and then strive to interpret these through a Christian lens.
