Mettle: What Are You Really Made Of? | Word on Wednesday
What are you really made of? Today’s Word on Wednesday is METTLE (pronounced MET-uhl): the courage, spirit, strength of character, and steadiness we discover when life gets difficult. But this isn’t another conversation about how much pain you can survive. During Built Solid Week, we’ve already challenged the idea that storms deserve credit for the people we become and that being “the strong one” means carrying everything. Today, Shawnta’ Hill takes the conversation deeper: Maybe the storm didn’t give you your mettle. Maybe it gave you an opportunity to discover it. Because hard seasons don’t always reveal a perfectly strong, confident version of us. Sometimes they reveal courage. Sometimes they reveal faith and resilience. And sometimes they reveal people-pleasing, over-functioning, control, avoidance, or patterns we still need to work on. That revelation doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes the revelation is the lesson. In this episode, we’re talking about courage without fearlessness, what pressure reveals about our patterns, choosing accountability, remaining soft after hard experiences, recognizing growth without expecting perfection, and why knowing what you’re made of should eventually change what you’re willing to entertain. Maybe being Built Solid doesn’t mean nothing can break you. Maybe it means: If something does, I trust myself not to disappear while I’m putting the pieces back together. ROOM QUESTION: What is something a difficult season helped you discover about yourself? Don’t tell us only what happened to you. Tell us what you discovered about YOU. And when somebody shares theirs, tell them: THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF.
