Rules of Resilience by Valorie Burton Coaching Questions for the 2026 New Year

Message from the pastor:  I am reading Rules of Resilience and have found very powerful coaching questions to understand resilience and how it helps support our energy gaps as we work in and through our faith, relationships, ministry, and life. The book discusses and provides powerful and key messages to support how we show up, move through, and apply our mindset to some of life's most challenging encounters. I will be selecting questions form the reading that can aid in building your resilience  to feel energy gaps, embrace a new mindset, and tap your ability to face challenges. I encourage you to purchase the book, do the exercises, and thrive in moving forward when faced with challenges.
