There is a lot that has been written about giving thanks. We are told to count our ‘blessings’ and we are sold ideas about thankfulness that would seem to make giving thanks the answer to all our problems. But perhaps you’ve struggled with thanksgiving as we’ve been navigating a whole combination of crises in our world. Or maybe you’ve experienced someone saying thank you in a way that didn’t feel truly grateful or appreciative. The truth is that not all thanksgiving is created equal. 

What does thanksgiving mean to you? What difference could a meaningful practice of thanksgiving make to your life and your world? And what does thanksgiving look like from an evolutionary perspective? This episode of the EvoFaith Podcast continues the conversation about evolutionary prayer and invites you to consider that thankfulness is only truly meaningful when it leads us to thoughtfulness and generosity.
