This week on the podcast I have John Lustrea as a co-host instead of a guest.

Diana Butler Bass has written a thoughtful book titled, Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks.

If you’ve not heard of Diana before, she is the award-winning author of 10 books on American religion. She holds a Ph.D. in religious studies from Duke University, has taught at the college and graduate level and is currently an independent scholar. She is a popular speaker at conferences and universities and churches across North America.

We had a delightful time as she unpacked a word I thought I knew a lot about until Diana opened my eyes.
