The Most Resilient Person I Ever Knew

In this powerful message, Brooks Gibbs shares the story of the most resilient person he ever knew: his grandmother, Grandma Jody. Through her life of hardship, trauma, loss, and recovery, she taught him a truth that helped save his life as a struggling 14-year-old: “No one can hurt my feelings without my permission.”

Brooks explains the difference between physical pain and emotional pain, showing how our thoughts cannot always protect our bodies, but they can protect our hearts. Drawing from Proverbs, the wisdom of his grandmother, and the ABC model from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Brooks teaches that our emotional reactions are not caused directly by what happens to us, but by what we believe about what happens to us.

This message challenges the modern idea that words automatically wound us and instead offers a better path: resilience can be learned. When we understand the power of our belief system, we can stop saying, “You made me angry,” “You hurt my feelings,” or “You pushed my buttons,” and start learning how to guard our hearts, adjust to harsh realities, and leverage adversity for psychological growth.

Brooks Gibbs has spent more than two decades teaching students and adults how to become emotionally resilient, socially wise, and strong enough to face hardship without being destroyed by it.
