This week on Pod Have Mercy, John sits down with friend and community favorite Joel Moore, also known to many as the “Gratitude Guru.” Joel shares his journey through addiction recovery, personal transformation, and the development of a powerful daily gratitude practice that has reshaped his mental, spiritual, and emotional life.

Joel opens up about building businesses, walking through recovery, and the surprising moment he realized that productivity alone couldn’t create contentment. What followed was the creation of his Gratitude Framework, a blend of morning and evening practices designed to increase awareness, purpose, intentionality, and resilience in everyday life.

From neuroscience to spiritual disciplines, from surrender to joy, Joel explains how gratitude has rewired his mindset and transformed his relationships, especially within his family. He also shares how he’s expanding the practice online through his daily gratitude posts and upcoming video series.
