In this episode, Pastor Jay Lee interviews author and podcast host Amanda Schaefer who has both lived a life of discovering gratitude in the midst of her own personal hardships, and has interviewed over 60 people in the last year about their personal stories and finding gratitude and thanksgiving within them.

Amanda's Bio: 

Amanda Schaefer is an author, speaker, publisher, and podcast host. No matter what vehicle she uses to share, Amanda is always telling stories. Amanda attended New York University, majoring in Dramatic Writing but was not a believer at the time. She would never have imagined using all of the things she learned there to create a Christian podcast. This endeavor, the “A Cup of Gratitude” podcast, is being listened to worldwide! It has far surpassed any of her expectations. Amanda’s goal was to provide a platform for people to share their stories and, as a result, to share God’s story. With no agenda other than finding the way to view lives through the lens of gratitude, she has chosen to keep this podcast as a ministry with no monetization of any kind. With new books on the horizon and some collective efforts around the bend, Amanda is ready for each opportunity she receives to share the gospel in every way that she can.

Here are the two interviews Amanda referenced in the episode:
