Redwood Resilience: Four Words to Carry You Through the Fire

Post your thoughts here. If you want a reply email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you. In this episode of Tracks for the Journey, I walk the fire-scarred trails of California's Big Basin Redwoods State Park and discover four ways these ancient trees recover from disaster. I discuss how four words (Roots, Bark, Ashes, Wind) become practical strategies for our own hard seasons: building real community, setting healthy boundaries, reframing disappointment into new dreams, and opening ourselves to the Spirit's quiet breath.  Along the I shares a personal story of a painful rejection early in his ministry that turned out to be a hidden rescue, and he closes with Job's striking words of hope for a tree that sprouts again "at the scent of water." You'll come away with a simple, memorable framework of four words you can carry into any crisis. Most of all, you'll hear a hopeful reminder that setbacks don't get to write the final chapter of your life.
