Good in Tension

Finding Healthy Balance in a Culture of Extremes

Healthy tension: Jesus wants to help you find it and live in it.

Tension is tough. We don’t like it. We try to avoid it. Whether we feel it in a family relationship, a situation at work, or our online interactions, rarely do any of us walk away feeling like it was a win-win. Pastor Jeremy Yancey would like to change that. In his book Good in Tension, he proposes that tension is actually a good thing. It’s what makes a guitar sing and provides stable footing for a tightrope walker.

A lack of tension, or tension deficit, is where problems actually occur. Without healthy tension, we swing to extremes. On our own, we’re prone to extreme reactions to the storms and chaos of life. Let Jesus speak peace in the midst of your storm as you explore what it looks like to stand your ground and be:

• Focused yet Flexible
• Hopeful and Realistic
• Confident and Humble
• Candid yet Kind

Jesus is always inviting us back to a centered, surrendered trust in Him. Lean on Him and not your own understanding, and He’ll recalibrate your tension deficit.

Where Do You Stand in the Line of Extremes.

This book causes you to look within and then look down at your feet to determine exactly where you are standing in the line of EXTREMES. Once you leverage this book to mark your spot, it gives you some practical tools to use to make your way closer to the middle. This book will not leave you in the same please if found you. You will be challenged to look in the mirror, you will learn how to have more meaningful conversations, and you might even identity a few habits and relationships that shouldn’t follow you to the next chapter.

This book requires action from you. I just purchased it a couple of days ago, and I’ve listened to it twice.

Well delivered

From not knowing what healthy tensions within Gods scope was this book helped it put it into a perspective I understand but will add it to my everyday life.
