Llists can help us fight anxiety. Making a list can help with increased productivity, increased personal time, and a sense of accomplishment. In today’s episode Gene encourages us to make a list of things we’re thankful for - food you eat, friends and family, answered prayer, anything. Whatever you have in Christ is better than anything you don’t have in this life. You have new life in Christ, you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you, and you have a new family through the family of  God. Ask God to help you see all the blessings He has poured out into your life during this Thanksgiving week.

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
