Psychiatrist Kathryn Connor from Duke University writes, "Resilient individuals [are] characterized by...their reliance on faith and prayer." 

This lesson explores how spiritual faith helps in crisis times. 

"Take it one day at a time." Behind this simple thought is a deeply profound stress management tool.

This lesson uses a story of a resistance worker during WWII to explore the value of living just one day at a time.

Theologian Reinhold Niebhur wrote one of the most famous prayers in the world.

It was considered so powerful that it was printed on small cards and distributed to soldiers fighting in the trenches of WWII. 

How can we apply this prayer to the crises of today? This lesson explores how to do this.

In his best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey writes that some people allow the weather to control their feelings—if it’s a sunny day, they feel good, but if it’s a cloudy day, they feel down in the dumps. 

But others create their own internal good weather and carry it with them.  We call this The Good Weather Factor. 

What's their secret? Watch this lesson to find out.

Let's be clear -- our suffering does not always have inherent meaning. Some things we go through in life are tragic and meaningless. 

But we can, often with God's help, create a sense of meaning and purpose from our suffering.

This is the foundational concept of psychiatrist Victor Frankl's powerful book, Man's Search for Meaning. 

This lesson explores how he used this powerful belief in his own practice and how we can use it today.
