In this powerful episode, Ellen Corcella explores the concept of resilience through the extraordinary life of Congressman John Lewis. Drawing from the Latin root resiliere ("to leap back"), she examines how faith can be the foundation for bouncing back from life's most challenging circumstances and achieving our goals. Through Lewis's example of getting back up after every beating, arrest, and setback during the Civil Rights Movement, listeners discover practical ways to build resilience in their lives.

Closing Thought
"We must never give up. We must never give in. We must never give out. We must keep the faith and keep our eyes on the prize." - John Lewis
Remember: You have within you the capacity to get back up. Your faith can be the foundation that helps you leap back, again and again, into the fullness of life God intends for you.
