About this episode
When you've been hurt, what kind of character will you be?
- God gives you hardship as a Storyteller does: because readers love what happens when a character is down but finds a way to get back up;
- Remember that it's in the cellars of affliction that God makes his choicest wines (Rutherford);
- Be at once tender and merciless with your own victimhood;
- Stop assuming nobody else at church has the dark backstory of trauma and abuse that you do.
- Take heart from Grandpa Jim, who used to "get chose" to fight the bullies every day after school.
