In this episode of the Full Life Podcast, host Zach Imboden guides you through a powerful yet simple practice of gratitude that can transform your perspective and reconnect you with God’s presence—even in the middle of a busy, challenging season.

When life feels overwhelming or rushed, gratitude is a spiritual rhythm that can ground you in truth and lift your heart toward hope. Through a brief guided reflection, scripture meditation, and intentional prayer, you’ll be invited to pause and notice God’s goodness in your past month.

Whether you're struggling to slow down or longing to grow spiritually, this episode will help you recenter, refocus, and find joy in the small but sacred moments of life.

You’ll reflect on questions like:

• What am I most grateful for this month?
• How have I experienced God’s love?
• How has God worked through me?

Take 10 minutes to breathe, reflect, and give thanks. Gratitude might not change your circumstances, but it will change you.

In this episode, Zach Imboden helps you identify where you shine so you can live and lead with greater confidence, purpose, and impact.

- The emotional and spiritual cost of constantly trying to meet expectations

- The roots of people-pleasing: fear of rejection, shame, past hurt, and unhealthy beliefs

- Practical steps toward saying “no,” setting boundaries, and living true to God’s design

- How to reclaim your voice, your identity, and your freedom in Christ

If you’re ready to trade approval for authenticity and move from “pleasing people” to living your purpose, this episode is for you. You were made to thrive — not just survive.
