| | + | The Gospel Coalition article ''The Gospel Makes Us Antifragile'' states: |
| | + | {{Cquote|In his book Antifragile, author Nassim Nicholas Taleb observes that some objects are naturally fragile, like glass or fine china, and some are naturally resilient, like rubber or Tupperware. But there’s another category he labels “antifragile.” Just as the immune system becomes stronger when exposed to the normal circulation of viruses and bacteria, so some objects become better under stress. |
| | + | |
| | + | What Taleb describes is similar to what [[Saint Paul|Paul]] writes about in Romans 5: “We rejoice in our [[suffering]]s, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces [[character]], and character produces [[hope]]” (vv. 3–4). Suffering is the stress, and a [[Perseverance|persevering]] character full of hope is a description of [[Holy Spirit|Spirit]]-filled antifragility.<ref>[https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/gospel-antifragile/ The Gospel Makes Us Antifragile], Gospel Coalition website</ref>}} |
