Today's episode continues the Thankful Meditations series by focusing on a second quote from G.K. Chesterton. In his own musings, Chesterton alludes to the unbridled excitement of kids at Christmas time as opposed to our own underappreciated blessings that may seem more mundane. Pastor Adam and Steph relate the childhood enthusiasm for receiving parents' gifts to the grown-up need to generate thankfulness for God's gifts.

The Christian walk with Jesus is the greatest experience our human lives can embrace, but it is incredibly hard.  Unfortunately, conversations about faith tend to ignore the struggles or only brush by the difficulties in route to talking about personal victories or growth.  In a day and age where we see leaders in corporate America, our government, and even the church try to hide their flaws, we are taking an uncommon approach to the Christian walk.  Join Pastor Adam Cook each Wednesday as he takes some risks and heads down a road of honesty about this messy walk we call faith.  We won’t play it safe, and neither should you.  In fact, you cannot play it safe and please God, so why pretend?  Nobody is perfect.  Everyone has struggles.  Even Christians.   If you are ready to step into an authentic faith walk and get some mud on your boots, this podcast is for you.  
Adam Cook is the founding and Senior Pastor of Union Church located in rural Danville, Virginia, and Yanceyville, North Carolina.  He has been in full-time ministry in a variety of settings and church sizes for over 20 years and strives to use authenticity, honesty, and rawness to lead others into a real, albeit messy, walk with Jesus.
