“What’s the difference between contentment and stoicism?”
I was recently thinking through how believers ought to deal with change. Denial is obviously not a Christian option, though it’s a very natural one. Intransigence is also generally unhelpful; there are situations in which no movement is good movement, but these are rare. Stoicism is a third common reaction to change, even among followers of Christ.
Oh, we wouldn’t call it that. Most of us haven’t read the stoics to know what they believed.
