In this conversation, Ken shares four key ideas about resilience. We explore the need for resilience in cross-cultural workers, one of the ways God develops resilience, the role of community as we face situations requiring resilience, and other helpful considerations. Ken takes time to make suggestions for both Goers and Senders in light of this important topic.
