## Resource

Sissy Goff and David Thomas sit down with Jay and Catherine Wolf to talk about resilience, suffering, and what it really means to raise capable kids. After Catherine survived a catastrophic brainstem stroke shortly after the birth of their first son, their family’s life was forever changed. Through their journey of disability, grief, faith, and hope, the Wolfs share how suffering can actually expand our capacity—for gratitude, compassion, and courage—and how parents can model resilience for their kids even in the hardest seasons. Together, they explore how honesty about hardship, practicing gratitude, and inviting kids into meaningful responsibility can cultivate deep capability and maturity in the next generation. . . . . . .
