The NEXT Podcast – Episode 36: RESILIENT

In this second part of our Four R’s series, Jay Cookingham explores the often-misunderstood nature of resilience. This episode dives deep into what it really means to be resilient—not as a badge of toughness, but as a testimony to God’s sustaining presence in the middle of grief, loss, and transformation.Resilience isn’t about bouncing back or pretending everything is okay. It’s about showing up when it’s hard, standing when you’d rather disappear, and letting God meet you in the cracks. Jay shares personal stories, spiritual insights, and biblical truths that have helped him walk forward after loss. You’ll hear how restoration leads to transformation and why breaking isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of becoming someone new.If you’ve ever asked, “Can anything beautiful come from this pain?”—this episode is for you.
