Formation

Suffering is not the enemy

If you treat every hard thing as a glitch, you will stay fragile.

Formation

Pain is not automatically meaningful. Avoided pain is almost never useful. The people you respect were formed by weight they did not pick and weight they did. Stop praying the gym away and then wondering why you cannot lift.

And the God of all grace… after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

1 Peter 5:10

The move: Name the hard thing you are in. Write one skill it is trying to build. Practice that skill on purpose today.
