Resilience, Getting Your Bounce Back | Ps Mark Collard - 17th May 2026

In this message, Ps Mark Collard brings a word on resilience and how to get your bounce back.

Studies show that resilience has dropped significantly since the pandemic and has not recovered. 81% of workers report feeling less resilient than before. Ps Mark addresses this head-on and shows how the grace of God means our journey does not have to end in fatigue. 

We can go from strength to strength.

Drawing from the life of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, Ps Mark unpacks three things that build a resilient spirit, so that when life knocks us down, we do not stay down.

Three Keys to Resilience:

1. Vision: Fighting for God's vision of victory over the enemy's vision of catastrophe
2. Relationships: Building the right people around you before the storm hits
3. Thankfulness: The practical and neurological power of a grateful life

Ps Mark also shares the "3x3x90" tool from psychologist Dr Ray Andrews: three things you are thankful for, three times a day, for 90 days, and how neuroscience confirms what the Bible has said for thousands of years about gratitude rewiring the brain for emotional resilience.
