From Humiliation to Hope

Forty years ago the radical Islamic cleric Ayatolla Khomeini deposed the Shah of Iran, sent his minions to seize control of the U.S. Embassy, and proclaimed America “The Great Satan.” Diplomats were blindfolded and paraded before the world’s press, threatened with death, held captive for 444 days.

A military effort to rescue them left several soldiers dead in a helicopter crash. America was in a state of humiliation. “America held hostage, day _ ” flashed nightly across TV screens.

How does a nation bounce back? How do we bounce back when we’re laid low by life?

Listen to my latest podcast for an inspiring answer.
