Show Notes

When you've been hurt, what kind of character will you be?
  • God gives you hardship as a Storyteller does: because readers love what happens when a character is down but finds a way to get back up;
  • Remember that it's in the cellars of affliction that God makes his choicest wines (Rutherford);
  • Be at once tender and merciless with your own victimhood;
  • Stop assuming nobody else at church has the dark backstory of trauma and abuse that you do.
  • Take heart from Grandpa Jim, who used to "get chose" to fight the bullies every day after school.
